A textbook continues to be one of the major variables that vitally conditions the teaching-learning process. It generates educative interactions between the learner and the learner, as also between the learner and the teacher. It may be used for learning in advance of the classroom instructions, for enriching the learning, for revision and reinforcement of the previous learning. The merit and utility of understanding the educational thoughts and practices of the masterminds (both Western and Indian) cannot be overemphasised. This is the raison d’etre of this book, which is written with experience-centred approach. The book would be highly useful for students of education at the undergraduate as well as of the postgraduate levels.
