Philosophical Aspects of Teaching and Learning

It is often asserted that education makes people more intelligent. There is one sense in which this is almost certainly not true. Most psychologists believe that the optimum level of intelligence is fixed at birth for each individual. Intelligence, as we measure it by test, may still be argued that a full education enables a person to make a more effective use of his native intelligence than he could do if he were poorly educated. It is possible that education can at least awaken or liberate intelligence that would otherwise remain dormant or inhibited. This book is useful not only to the academicians, educationist, researchers and libraries but to the lay readers also.
