Since man has been thinking, there have been innumerable theories and ideas about what is the best way that students can learn or in what way best can the student learn.

Some more popular theories include that of John Dewey, who believed that the best teacher is personal experience; Johann Pestalozzi was of the same thinking as well – he too believed that everyday life is the best teacher. He, along with Paulo Freire, also believed that the underprivileged must be taught. On the other hand, Kurt Hahn was all for education through adventure, peace and society. Then of course is the ever popular Montessori (a teaching method to bring out the child’s natural abilities through a more self-experiential way) way of learning. Still other ideas spoke of the importance of the outdoors, combined student-teacher thinking and learning through their relationship.

Many parents today also talk about home-schooling their kids and that too is a valid choice. There is no set rule or guide book that can point the way to the correct teaching method. With the progress in leaps and bounds of education tools across the globe with modern technology changing almost everyday, we still do not know what the future holds in the education world. Whereas in an earlier era, traditional tools and tried and tested methods of teaching were regarded as God, today technology plays an equally important role in how teachers choose to teach.
