First Revolution
✓ The first revolution was shifting the responsibility of teaching

children from the family to schools.
✓ On reaching a particular age,children were taken to teachers
home they were called Ashrams and made to stay there and
learn from gurukula system of education
✓ Instruction was mainly oral,listening, memorizing, reciting and
discussion formed the learning activity and oral explanation,
demonstration and logical debate as teaching activities.

Second Revolution
➢ The second revolution was the development of letters to the spoken
sounds and teaching children with words, formed by combining letters
➢ The practice of single teacher teaching all he knows like medicine,
astronomy, astrology, marital arts, government administration etc. came
in to existence.
➢ In addition to learning through words of mouth, learning by reading palm
leaves, writing and copying were encouraged.
➢ Learning slowly spread and progress in knowledge gained momentum.

Third Revolution
The third revolution is the invention of printing machine

This enabled teachers living in different parts of the
world publish what all they know in the printed form and
thus knowledge spread across the globe.
Knowledge of the people became wider, varied and
deep. Printed books reached all the nook and corner of
the world
It revealed teachers and students of the burden of
copying from the burden of copying from the papyrus or
palm leaves.
Learning has become no more tedious job. More
students from far places were attracted to world famous
universities which came in to existence in places like
Taxita and Nalanda.

Fourth Revolution
The fourth revolution that took place in the progress of
knowledge is the heralding of electronics with a bang.
In particular self learning devices like teaching machines and
computers helped most besides the electronic gadgets like
radio, audio cassettes, video cassettes etc. to change from
teacher centered education to learner centered education.
Efforts are being made continuously to develop school and
higher education curriculum adopting multi disciplinary
approach.
The barriers of academic disciplines have been shattered due
to inter disciplinary approach in education and new disciplines
are emerging.
Curriculum construction too is moving towards interdisciplinary
approach.

Today online education, virtual
classrooms and universities, educational
programmes broadcast through audio visual
media, consultations and interviews with experts
at the global level through video-conferencing
and lectures and panel discussions through
broadcast and telecast have revolutionized
education. Today we are moving towards
knowledge responsible society. Learner centered
education is being applauded today

curriculum enabling them to strive for higher levels. Social environment in the
initial stages of human civilization.,social and political environments in the pre-
modern society and political environments in the pre-modern society and
during the modern and post-modern periods political and intellectual context
played important roles in the development of knowledge, disciplines and
curriculum.
