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.
