Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Mystery of Life Education: The Basics The four principles of education are: Principle 1: The Fundamentals of Education Here we are concerned with the basic principles and goals of education which we can divide into two groups: 1- Fixed fundamentals 2- Changing fundamentals The fixed fundamentals include the principles and rules which do not change because man's basic needs and talents always exist.

The changing fundamentals, however, refer to the principles that vary with the subject material and circumstances. Our study of the fundamentals of education will involve two parts: 1- Absolute and relative goals that include the extent and limits of education. 2- The principles that provide the essential basis of education. The Goals and Duties of Education The goals of education are: 1- Moderating man's raw feelings, animal instincts and correcting wrong ideas that may govern his mind.

2- Inducing and making acceptable the highest of human ideals, realities and values for the human being educated. It is obvious that this goal cannot become a reality unless the former goal is achieved, for without raw feelings having been moderated and the necessary mental corrections made, man will never accept the highest of human ideals. 3- Interpreting for man what power is and how it is to be put to use.

This is not possible unless man learns to wish for others also what he considers desirable for himself. 4- Creating a friendly relationship between man and himself: in many societies today, the internal cries of consciences are ignored and thoughts and ideas have fallen astray, distorting man's highest emotions, too - the sole way out is to turn back and make up with ourselves again.

The Basics of Education There are a series of intelligible principles concerning education, which if properly followed, can lead to knowledge that is longer-lasting and more profound. For instance, when one accepts the necessity of honesty due to correct upbringing- realizing that honesty strengthens his character- his knowledge of honesty will be much deeper and stronger. Some of the principles of education are: 1- The most important thing about education is realizing its necessity.

Each human being must attempt to gain knowledge, and adapt himself to be able to do that. Being lazy or inconsiderate about education will destroy man's constructive talents and powers. Man must remember that education is the rule of man's life and how to live it.
