GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT:
The dictionary meaning of growth and Development is as follows:
Growth means- act or process of growing a stage of development.
Development – a process if growing evaluation, maturation and improvement.
The meaning of these two words seems to be the same but it is not the same viewed properly. Growth is limited and qualitative. It is graded in stages. Development is qualitative. It is the product of many qualities. Development is a continuous process. Growth is a part of development.
For FROEBEL, the school is a garden, the educand is a tender plant and the educator is the careful gardener.
JOHN DEWEY, also says education is growth and one ever growing.
Education is the sum
This is agreeable with the statements of PESTALOZZY “ Education is natural, harmonious and progressive development of man’s innate powers” and GANDHI, “By education, I mean an all-round drawing out of the best in the child and man-body, mind and spirit”.
By imbibing all the knowledge he will be a complete man, developed in multy sided growth which enables his to serve humanity. Education means complete development of an individual so that we can make an original contribution to human life according to his abilities.
EDUCATION AS INITIATION:
According to ROSS, “ Education is a process which initiates each individual into a general culture of society”.
According to Indian tradition, “ Education is initiation into life of spirit, training of human soul in the pursuit of truth the practice of virtues. It is considered as the second birth.
R.S. PETER describes, “ Education as a process of initiation.” The concept of initiation is given by prof. R.S. PETER of the University of London, Wherein he has concentrated on the development of mind his background of his criteria or for the process of education.
This meaningful concept of initiation can be seen in our Vedas and Upanishads and various educative system of the past .Up Anaya was a kind of initiation. It was helpful to realize self actualization and self realization which was the aim of ancient education.
THE CONCEPT O INITIATION IN THE MODERN EDUCATION:
The teacher introduces the student to the various field of knowledge, according to the students interest, attitudes and abilities. The teacher initiates to develop skills, accelerates the students to participate or indulge themselves by heart and soul, in the educative process and develops his mind.
Just like nourishment is very essential as food and nutrition to body, education is of utmost importance for the development of mind of the child, for the development of the mind initiation is important. As a result of initiation the child develops its mind and imbibes versatile capacities indulging itself himself in multivariate activities and experiences.
In brief the development of mind is the development of knowledge which is the product of initiation into the public traditions enshrined in a public language. The child develops concepts through activities and experiences. children need both direct and indirect experience, mutual experiences known as discipline, body of knowledge etc.
The body of knowledge is differentiated as theoretical knowledge, experimental knowledge, knowledge of politics, further in science, history, geography, math’s etc. Application or utilization of all these experiences into different situation is very important .So education is initiating the child into various forms of knowledge that are available in the society.
Thus education is to imbibe knowledge which can be publicly tested verified and accepted. The role of the teacher in initiating and inculcating useful knowledge is the very important since the teacher is initiated himself and experience, matured, he can initiate in a very fine manner.
EDUCATION A PROCESS AND PRODUCT:
EDUCATION AS PROCESS:
Process is a deliberate activity which is carried to attain the desired objectives. Educative process is a way of learning from the point of view of the teacher it is instruction or guidance.
IT is an activity to develop skills to change the attitudes, behavior of the child and to channelize to different branches of knowledge for an integrated growth to lead a happy harmonious life, to influence him for the desired contribution to society with different tools and techniques.
Education is a continuous and lifelong process, it begins at birth and continues through out the life. Education comes not only from the school but also from the sociocultural environment.
EDUCATION AS A BI-POLAR PROCESS:
In the educative process there will be two individuals . One side is a matured master and other side is on immature pupil. As a result of interaction between the two, effective enlightening and useful education is acquired. JOHN ANDAM calls this process of education between the educator and educand as bi-polar.
Here the teacher will be responsible for the acquisition of all kinds of knowledge by the student . This process will be deliberate and systematic. We find this kind of process of education and the concept in our ancient Upanishads.
SLOKA FROM TAITTIREYA UPANISHAD:
“Acharya poorva roopam pratibasi uttara roopam.
Vidya sandhini parvachanam Sandhanam Sanskrit.
.
TEACHER. STUDENT
Regarding education as bi-polar process Taittireya Upanishads explains, “In the bi-polar process of education , the teacher is the former pole, the student is the opposite pole, knowledge emanating form the teacher to the student connects two and the instrument is the mutual discussion”.
EDUCATION AS THE TRI-POLAR PROCESS:
In the opinion of JOHN DEWEY the educative process is tri-polar. According to him education to process as a psychological and sociological insight or a space. Besides the teacher and student there is another element which is significant like other poles. i.e. curriculum and social environment. The social environment plays a vital role in the process of education which provides experiences, knowledge in the form of curriculum.
Thus education is a tri-polar process which involves interplay and interceptor of these elements. In this view teacher has to take the other two poles into consideration. he social environment is the foundation of education and education must work according to the society.

EDUCATION AS MULTI-POLAR PROCESS:
In the broader sense education is a multi-polar process. It starts from infancy to maturity from womb to .It is often said in an ancient Slogan, “Buddhim Karmanusarini”- at times educations starts even before birth. Eg. Abhimanyu son of Subhadra and Arjuna had known how to enter the ‘ Chkravyuha’. Every experience imbided at every stage of life is education.
Imbibing the education , temples mosques, church, family, social life, travel T.V., Radio, computers, peer groups, market place, cinema , various mass media, science industry etc. In each one of this –besides different aspect of life which the child has heard, seen, done contemplated, influences, are included. Direct, indirect and accidental experiences are also present. As a result of child’s association with all these, there will be action, reaction and interaction. There will be greater experience and knowledge to the child. Hence education is a multi-polar process.
EDUCATION AS A PRODUCT:
The product is the end of an activity. It Is a well known fact that useful desired object is obtained in a well organized process. In the educative process education obtained by learning knowledge, skills, values etc. is the product.
Just like a weaver with raw materials, entangling himself various process of spinning , weaving, colouring manufactures a beautiful cloth. Just like goldsmith after various kinds of processes , his prepares an attractive gold ornaments. SO also a teacher in educative, experiments, educates man, prepares a man with an integrated personalities who is a post of knowledge, skills, values with full growth and development and sense of service.
Thus educated man with a host of knowledge is the product of the educative process. Educated man is the product, product is education.
