SOURCE AND AIMS OF TRUE EDUCATION
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

SOURCE AND AIMS OF TRUE EDUCATION
EDUCATION is the acquiring of knowledge. It is one of the main goals of every rational human being on earth. It is the reality behind this magic word that causes mothers and fathers to toil and save to assure that their children will have as complete education as possible. They hope thus to assure that their sons and daughters will have a “better opportunity” than they or will be able to compete in today’s mad market of better trained employers.
TRUE EDUCATION could it be our ideas of education that take too narrow and too low a range that there is more to true education than just a book learning –an acquiring of knowledge.
There is need of a broader scope, a higher aim. True education means more than the pursuing of a certain course of study. It has to do with the whole period of existence possible to man. It is the harmonious development of the physical, the mental and the spiritual powers. It prepares the student for the joy of service in this world and for the higher joy of wider service in the world to come.
The world has had its great intellect and extensive research men whose utterances have stimulated thought and opened to view vast fields of knowledge and these men have been honoured as guides and benefactors of their race; but there is one who stands higher than they. We can trace the line of the world`s teachers as far back as humans records extend. But the lights were before them. As the moon and the stars of our solar system shine by the reflected light of the sun, so as far as their teaching is true, do the world`s great thinker reflect the rays of the sun of Righteousness. Every gleam of thought every flash of the intellect is from the light of the world.


GOALS IN LEARNING
The goals in learning can be classified into two broad categories
1. THE ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE
2. THE ACQUISITION OF SKILL

The acquisition of knowledge means the bringing up of intellectual and emotional modification and control in the individual through learning, while; The acquisition of skill refers to the sensory motor modification and control through learning.

The following sub-divisions are comprehended under the broad heading or the major goal – THE ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE
1. PRECEPTION: this refers to the acquisition of specific knowledge about objects or events directly stimulating the sense at any particular moment. An object come before our sense organs, we get the sensation of it and attach a meaning to it on the basis of our past experience. This is perception. A young child sees a woman, in the past the woman has fed her.
2. CONCEPTION: this means the acquisition of organized knowledge in the form of concepts or general ideas which transcend any particular percept. Percept refers to individual or specific situation: concept is general or universal in its reference the child gets the perception of orange, apple, banana etc and is able to locate certain general qualities in them.
3. ASSOCIATIVE LEARNING: these correspond to memory both as the deliberate recall and recognition past experience and a habit or automatic memory due to association. Associative learning is fundamental to all other learning in the chapter on memory. This aspect of acquisition of knowledge will be discussed.

MOTIVES AND LEARNING
The human behavior is controlled, directed and modified through certain motives. When a person is hungry and is searching for food, or constructing a house, or mating or learning new skills we will always be able to trace some such elements which initiate his activates guide them and modify his behavior in the light of his successes or picture.

WHAT IS MOTIVATION
Motivation is that force which impels or incites individual’s action determines the individual direction of action and his rate of actions. When the individual gets any motive he expenses a tension and disequilibrium and becomes restless. His activities are then initiated the. The individual feels a push to behave in a certain direction. In education, motivation is the art of stimulating interest. In the pupil where there has been no such interest, or where it is as yet unfelt by the pupil and also of cultivating the interest already present in behalf of socially approved conduct. Motivation in school learning involves arousing, sustaining and directing desirable conduct.

WHAT WE MEAN BY MOTIVE
Motive is a condition –‘physiological and psychological’ within the organism that disposes it to act in certain ways. Motives take a variety of forms and are designated by many different terms such as need, desire, tension, set, determining tendencies attitudes, interest, persisting, stimuli etc. M C Geoch defines a motive as “any condition of an individual which points or orients him towards the practice of a given task and which defines the adequacy of his activities and completion of the task’’

KINDS – INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL
INTERNAL MOTIVATION – Human beings have internal urges, drives needs and appetites all these constitute innate motivation. Human beings are born with a very few ready-made forms of behavior, few unlearned activities undergo modification or change through learning but this learning itself has a cause or is motivated by something which is provided by the individual himself are his impulses, urge, appetites etc.
EXTERNAL MOTIVATION- learning must proceed in the absence of internal motivation, if there is intellectual immaturity and lack of sensitivity to ultimate consequences and ideals in the individual, then internal motivation will fail. In such circumstances resource is to be taken to external motivation.
External motivation however, is so called only because it is external to the learning activity itself. By external motivation it should not be considered that it is in any sense artificial, it has to be built upon the foundation of some existing natural response tendency. It can be successful only when it is intrinsic to the nature of the individual. Thus drives which are the chief sound of spontaneous attention and painless effort and are enormous resources of potential energy at the disposal of the leaner and teacher should be judiciously employed and wisely directed towards motivating the pupil.
A person can react to his environment in two ways. When we tie the laces of our shoe or board a bus or produce humming sound, we react in an uninvolved manner. The second type of reaction taken place at the time when we do some work very carefully and attentively and involve ourselves completely in it. In the first type of behavior the self remains aloof. In the second type of behavior as ego that is involvement behavior. Ego is a condition of total participation of the self as knower, organizer, observer, status, and seeker and as socialized being. Ego is involved in all those action in which our ability is challenged.

TEMPERAMENT
About this event: Africa Youth Business Forum
Related to country: Nigeria

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

TEMPERAMENT INFLUENCES EVERYTHING YOU DO

Ranging from sleeping habits, studying habit, eating style and in general the way you get along with other people, their no other influence in your life more dynamic than temperament or combination of temperament. Hence, it is so essential to know your temperament and to able to analyze other people’s temperaments, not to condemn them but accommodate them so you can maximize your potentials and enable them to maximize theirs.
HOWEVER, WHAT IS TEMPERAMENT?
Temperament is the combination of traits we inherited from our parents. No one knows where is abode is. Nevertheless, vivid research unveiled it to me that it is somewhere in the mind cum emotional centre (Lymphatic System). From that source, it combines with other human characteristics to produce basic makeup. Most of us are more conscious of its expression than we are of its function. A person’s temperament makes him/her outgoing and extroverted or shy and introverted. Doubtless, you know both kind people were born to the same parents. Similarly, it makes some people art cum music enthusiasts while others are sports or industry- minded. In fact, I have met outstanding musicians whose siblings were tone- deaf.
A person’s sex will also affect temperament particularly in the realm of emotions. The women usually considered more emotionally expressive than men are. Even the hardest of women will weep at times, whereas some men never.
MEET THE FOUR TEMPERAMENTS
The heart of the temperament theory as first conceived by HIPOCRATES over twenty four hundred years ago divides people into four basic categories, which he named SANGUINE, CHOLERIC, MELANCHOLY AND PHLAGMATIC. Each temperament type has both strength and weaknesses that forms a distinct part of his make up throughout life. Once a person diagnosis his own basic temperament, he is better equipped to ascertain what vocational opportunities he is best suited for and what natural weakness he must work on to keep from short circuiting his potential and creativity.
TEMPERAMENT AND THE EATING HABIT

I can almost judge a man’s temperament by his eating habits.

SANGUINES eat everything in sight and usually look it in restaurants. They so enjoy talking that they almost never look at a menu until the waiter or waitress arrives.
CHOLERICS are stereotyped eaters who seldom vary their menu from one day to the next and when it arrives, they bolt it down in big chunks, often taking while chewing their food.
MELANCNOLIES are very picky eaters. It takes them forever to make up their minds about to order but once it arrives before them they save every bite.
PHLAGMATICS are the most deliberate eaters of all and invariably the last one through eating that is the main reason they rarely gain weight

TEMPERAMENT AND DRIVING SKILLS

SANGUINES are erratic drivers. Sometimes they speed than for an apparent reason, lose interest in driving fast and slow. They are so people- oriented that they want to look you in the face when taking even while driving.
CHOLERICS are daring speed demons who dart in and out the traffic constantly. They always try to get more accomplished in a given period of time than is humanly possible and attempt to make up time by driving furiously between appointments.
MELANCHOLY motorists never leave home without preparing for the trip well in advance. They study the map and know the best route from A-Z of all temperament they are most likely to keep a complete log of their driving history including gas and oil consumption and car repairs legalists. By nature they rarely speed.
PHLAGMATICS are the slowest driver of all. The last one to leave an intersection, they rarely changes lane and is in indecisive danger when joining the flow of freeway traffic.
TEMPERAMENT AND STUDY HABITS

MELANCHOLIES are usually good students who enjoy learning. They have inquisitive minds and if taught to read well will have a ferocious appetite for books. They are blessed with keen retentive memory that enables them to remember a multitude of details. As a rule they are good spellers because they take mental picture of each word.
PHLAGMATICS can be good students if their procrastination doesn’t catch up with them. They need a series of short term assignment rather than long term projects.
CHOLERICS are clever as a rule but not brilliant. They like the people-oriented subject such as History, Geography, Literature and Philosophy. They may not be good spellers, because they skim over things so quickly. They are adept at speed-reading and have curious minds.
SANGUINES unless endowed with high intelligent quotients are not usually good student. They can be if they are motivated, because they are often bright enough but they are very restless and undisciplined and can be a distraction from a bird flying over head to a picture on the wall. These people have incredible potential but usually squander it because they don’t discipline themselves. Concentration for long period of time is difficult for them.

SUMMARY
We could go on giving illustration of how temperament influences the way you exercise sleep, hobbies, fashion and everything else in life, but these are enough to get you started in the right direction. As you get more familiar with temperament theory you will see it at work in your own life and that another person.

POSTERITY CHANGERS FOR SOLIDARITY (POCAFOSY)
(Actualizing Goal 2 of M D Gs)

Hello!
I understood the saying that said, ‘what an old man saw while sitting down, a young person can’t see even climbing the trees. For the vision of 2015 to be accomplished we need stability to our shaking feet.
I am the team leader of the above organization. We are working on goal 2 of M D Gs in Abia State. I have been attending workshops and summits to enhance the growth of our organization and strengthen our weakness.
As we went into research we discovered the bad state of pupils of MIGRANT FARMERS PRIMARY SCHOOL in URATTA, ABA-NORTH L G A, ABIA STATE. A school using the council hall of the town about two rooms in size. The pupils from primary 1-6 are jam-packed with the teachers exchanging their carbon dioxide together, too bad for their health. We saw some squatting on the bare ground while some are studying under the scotching of the sun outside. For posterity not to judge us saying ‘what did you do when you saw them in that condition; we meet the king and the community leaders who told us their little effort and the government abandonment since the starting of the school. They showed us an empty land they have brought out from the community land. So we took the project of erecting better apartment for the future leaders- pupils. Some of the cooperate bodies we met for funds are not showing up while some don’t even encourage us. Below are the budget and the work plan for the building
