ABSTRACT
You are welcome to this Module in History of
Education, which covers part of the course in
Professional Education Studies. To understand
the meaning of History of education, you need to
know the key words, History and Education.
Perhaps you are aware that History is a study of
past events and developments some of which
may have occurred many years of ago or might
have taken place in the recent times.
On the other hand, education can be defined as a
process of teaching and learning. More about
this will be examined in the module later.
History of education is therefore a study of the
past that focuses on educational issues. These
include education systems, institutions, theories,
themes and other related phenomena.
History of Education is of fundamental
importance to a professional teacher. We have
noted that the study deals primarily with the past
events and developments in education. However,
this should not be looked at in isolation. This is
because the past is closely linked to the present
and the later influences the future. When you
study the past, you are able to understand the
process of education and how it evolved up to
the present. In this way, the present not only
becomes clear but also helps to illuminate the
future.
Note that the education arena is a broad one. It
encompasses philosophical, sociological,
comparative, administrative, curricular and other
issues. Each of these may have a historical
dimension or perspective. It is envisaged that
this Module will help you to understand History
of education in particular and Professional
Education Studies in general.
