Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. On even the most superficial reflection one can readily see that ‘educating’ is not a single specific activity or process like ‘playing football’. The term includes a set of activities much as the term ‘gardening’ does. If a person is described as gardener he may either be digging, or hoeing, or pruning, or wedding and so on. What he is doing at any time is not specified, but he must be doing one of these. ‘Educating’ seems to be a more abstract term, but is similar to gardening in this aspect. We say quite naturally that we spent the morning gardening, but it seems odd to say we spent it educating, or to say ‘Go and get on with your education’. ‘Educating’ like ‘reform’ ‘improve’, ‘ameliorate’ and other such words, seems to draw attention only to prescribed standards. Teachers, therefore practice a group of activities related at a very high level. In that they all contribute somehow to achieving the educational goals of a person. What characterizes the process of education? At least one thing is sure that the processes must involve learning. Changes brought about by natural, physiological or maturational processes, for instance, however desirable they might be, would not be described as education. But this is merely to define what education and learning are not, when what we need are more positive clear characteristics. Education similar to gardening, since, it
  • A
    Comprises many activities
    Correct
  • B
    Leads to development
  • C
    Results in improvement
  • D
    Involves a lot of hard work
