A theology or philosophy of education

Education is an essential part of our lives. Without precept we fail to project the dandyer meanings of emotional state. True education does non lonesome(prenominal) contain movement of academician degrees.It involves learning the meaning of life and the greater virtues of life and unless we rede the virtues and the philosophies of life we bequeath non be in a nonplus to intake the academic knowledge fully. In order to wash up squ be-toed education it is necessary that we get a genuine mentor who w peaked(predicate) strive to steep the philosophies of life into our minds.A mentor is fitted to impart academic knowledge ex performly when he or she prep ares the mind of students philosophic in entirelyy and morally. just a mentor or an instructor should al counselings walk in the path of virtue. Getting deviated from the path makes him unfit for teaching a lump of young men.This paper invests to look at the various theories of life and the measure of virtues in life and hence tries to relate it with teaching. It tries to focus on the event that a mentor should desire and follow some theories while he or she is instructing the students.The paper also has tried to tell how the teachers should help their students to guess the meaning of their lives and also guide them in the true path of religion. The master(prenominal) aim of the paper remains in pointing out the role which an pedagog should play in order to constitute about over all serviceman development so that the familiarity is able to get more number of sensible citizens who go away stay put to the path of righteousness.There are really m both theories and m both views of virtue which tolerate be incorporated by an educator while imparting knowledge to the students. For instance The Divine dictation possibleness states that morality is associated with perfections commands. Divine control Theory focuses that anything not approved by God is immoral. Therefore it actually tr ies to say that we must all displace out acts those are approved by the God. For example torture is an act not approved by the God hence we can say that torture is an immoral act.The supposition is of prime(a) importance because it communicates us a reason as to why we wish to be moral in our lives. An classical thing which we tend to believe from the theory is that only the persons who are morally upright secure rejoicing in their lives. Hence we can say that with the help of the Divine Command Theory we get direct towards the path of morality. (Austin, 2006).As an instructor or a mentor we can take actuate from this theory and try to imbibe the virtue of morality into their minds. We can use it by making our students record that the ultimate aim of our lives should be morality.Unless we lead a moral life we will not be in a position to communicate through satisfaction. It should be our attempt as a facilitator to make the students straighten out that unless they adher e to the path of morality they will not be able to get the blessings of the Almighty and in turn will not be able to get success in their lives. Incorporating of this theory into the teaching curriculum is important because unless the students are moral by nature they will not be able to take in the academic lessons fittingly. They will also not be able to use the lessons learnt in their future lives unless they have a moral foundation in them.The theory of virtue ethics is in close association with the Christian philosophy of ethics. The virtue theory is teleological in nature that is true gentlemans gentleman nature involved in true human devout. The virtue ethics is of tripartite structure. It contains firstly human-nature-as-it-exists.Secondly it consists of human-nature-as-it-could-be. And the 3rd element consists of all those habits, desires, perceptions which will transport human from one fix up to the other symbolize. The virtue ethics focuses on the fact that there ar e certain habits and desires in human organisms which prevent our journey towards a true human nature. therefore it is clear that in order to achieve the true grievous of our lives we may have to renounce certain habits of our lives. The theory deals with the journey from the stage of who we are to what we could be. It goes on to say that human nature is worth only when it is a good human nature and in order to locomote a good human nature it is absolutely necessary that we carry out functions which are true in nature and which adds to the true sanitary being of humans.Therefore fit to this theory we are permitted to carry out only those acts which contribute to the well being of the people and at the same measure keep away from those which are not considered as true acts.(Kotva, 1997). Thus we can say that even the theory of virtue ethics can be incorporated within our teaching curriculum.That is we can make the students attend that the ultimate goal of life is well being and well being is only possible when we carry out true acts. True acts in the sense those acts which are virtuous in nature. We should also encourage the students to give up all those acts which are not true acts that are all those acts which do not contribute to the well being of man. In this way we can direct the students towards proper acts and keep them away from all ill acts.It is necessary to guide the students in such a direction because unless they carry out acts which are true by nature they will be unable to use their academic learnings in proper channels. Instead they may use all their academic learnings for accomplishing acts which are not proper. Hence it is very necessary to develop a moral guard in them right from their tender years so that they do not even get the desire to undertake an act which is improper.According to John Stuart Mill utilitarianism is basically the measure of human action ground on the consequence received by that action. He was of the opinion that any human action which produces cheer among the human beings is a morally meliorate one. On the other hand an action which fails to generate human happiness is termed as morally wrong. Therefore according to Mill all human actions should be directed towards generating human happiness.Rather it should be the goal of all human beings to bring in happiness to others and not to one self.(West). Taking cue from the theory of J.S. Mill we can go further to say that the marrow squash of utilitarianism is to maximize social welfare. We can take the happiness of others in a collective form and refer to it as the common good of the society.Thus according to the theory we can say that our ultimate aim should be to bring in the overall welfare of the society through our actions. Utilitarianism can be synonymous with welfarism. Therefore using utilitarianism we can say that all individuals are given an equal status as because a common good of the society has been mentioned. Unless all indivi duals are given an equal status they will not have a common welfare.Thus utilitarianism also incorporates egalitarianism.(Roemer, 1998). Even the theory of utilitarianism can be of much help in imbibing set within the students. We can use the theory to make the students understand that the aim of all our actions should be to secure happiness of others.Our actions should not be directed by self interests. By happiness of others it means that we should teach the students to achievement for the common good of the society because if we do not put social movement for the betterment of our society we will also not achieve any betterment in our moral lives. Moreover the ultimate goal of education remains self-enlightenment and that enlightenment do not involve seeking happiness for the self but it comprises bringing in positive transformation of the society through our knowledge and education.Therefore it is a must that the students are made to realize the true purpose of education at a very wee stage. It is necessary to make the students realize that the purpose of their education is a great one otherwise they in the later stages of life will not be able to do justice with their education.
