    Education principles consist of the conceptual premises of educational systems, on

    which current and proposed educational paradigms are based upon. They help

    educators, policymakers, and students to know why and how education operates in the

    way it does, its purposes, procedures, and standards. Foundations of education are

    typically divided into several areas: Philosophical Foundations: Discusses solely the

    educational concepts, concentrating on questions about what should be taught and

    why.

    Sociological Foundations: Analyzes the purpose of educational institutions in society,

    and also examines how these factors in turn influence education.

    Psychological Foundations: Examines the learning behaviors, cognitive developments,

    and the factors that drive learners, in a bid to learn how human beings learn and what

    works.

    Historical Foundations: Covers the historical development of education over time with

    special focus on how past practices precipitated the current systems of education.

    Political and Economic Foundations: Analyzes the government's effect on education

    as regards to availability, facilities, and quality due to the policy change and the

    general economic scenario.

    It is important to understand these foundations to support a better-informed process of

    constructing enlightening and fair learning opportunities.


    Aspect Progressivism Constructivism

    Origins and Key Thinkers Progressivism draws its principles from the
    philosophies of people such as John Dewey as well, for him, education should
    aim towards preparing students to live in a democratic society. Constructivism
    has its roots in the works of Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky and Jerome Bruner,
    whose interest was how learners come to know in a practicing environment.

    Teacher’s Role Teachers are not simply transmitters of information, they


    nurture and motivate students’ thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration.
    Teachers do not instruct learners the way to think and act; instead, they
    collaborate with learners in the process of theory building through exploration.

    View of Knowledge Knowledge is considered as developing and applicable;


    the best approach is for students to learn through practice. Knowledge is
    constructed by observably active engagement of all learners into the universe
    rather than being passively imparted from others.

    Focus of Curriculum Comprising project-centered learning covering different


    subjects and linking it to contemporary issues and real-life situations. Core
    ideas provide an organizational structure for the curriculum and promote the
    understanding and integration of more difficult concepts as students
    investigate them.
