Do you remember the sentence
which is “I promise to sleep eight hours and eat carefully”. This is from a
sample of Nineteenth-century Teacher contract. The contract was prepared for
female teachers. The education history has sometimes included some strengs. I
do not know there is still a country using those types of rules but it seems
that it stayed behind for now. Education life and its rules do not change as
fast as technology but it can have some differences belonging to times. When we
look early times of education, we see reading, writing, and arithmetic as
principal factors. They have not changed so far. However, the mechanism of
education has changed. For example, students were not required to attend school
because there was no a certain school for training. People were running after knowledge.
However, when we look general education system in the World, coming to school
is required. It can have many reasons but I think people do not want to learn
by staying and it becomes more and more boring for them with time. Moreover,
people want to acquire their own knowledge. In fact, today’s World is nearer to
this idea but Twenty-First century still has many challenges. With this
century, education won a dangerous tool, which is internet and social media coming
with it. Standards have changed, diversity increased. In education new concepts
of knowledge, learning and abilities came up. Students can choose their own
education types. Free online courses have arrived so people can learn wherever
and whenever they want. However, the diversity of information also changed and
we do not know which information to trust, which to use, which not to use. Nowadays,
there are over 12 million students in online education system today. This is
the form of education today but I think we cannot guess the future form of
education because any person could not have guessed that education will be in
this form today.

Moreover, there are another diversities
effecting education. Some of them are cultural and language background, culture
shock e.g... Education is having a shape
according to these diversities in any country. However, some parents home
school their kids because they do not want their kids to effect from
diversities and the dangerous occur with it.
There are another diversities coming with some
perspectives. They are objectivist and constructivist perspectives. When we
collect a hundred people to an area and if we ask them about choosing which
perspective seems better for them. At least a ninety percentage of them will
choose constructivist perspectives. However, objectivist perceptive still is
the boss in the world. This is what we could not achieve with time. We could
not catch the ultimate goal of teaching to make students really independent and
self-regulated.
I think that the only way to catch the ultimate
goal of teaching to train today’s effective teachers that intend lifelong
learning and have a perfect repertoire. They should be mirrors of society and
should have interpersonal skills to create democratic environment in class that
includes students having self- awareness. In this situation, they can have
survival stage however; they should feel more adequate and pass survival stage.
