    • naturalism is termed as materialism because the basic of
    the world is matter.
    • deny the existence of any such thing as the supremacy of
    God, to them there is nothing else than matter which is
    ultimate reality and ultimate truth (Singh, 2007).

    of the child aiming at a holistic
    development of the personality

    What is Naturalism?
    • Rousseau believed that education does not only mean to
    memorize or store information and knowledge rather it is
    the process which results in the development of the child’s
    nature and personality internally.
    • Naturalism states that parents are natural teachers and
    there is no need for the institutions such as school
    (Pathak, 2007).
    • A child is a child and not an adult in the making.

    Naturalism and the Curriculum
    • According to naturalists curriculum must be child centered
    according to the present and future needs of the child (Pathak,
    2007).
    • Naturalists have divided curriculum under two stages
    • Earlier stage and Later stage
    • In the early stage sensory training is given to the child.
    • At the later stage the naturalists included in the curriculum
    subjects as physical sciences, language, mathematics, social
    studies, anatomy and other subjects (Seetharamu, 2004).
    • Moral education also begin part of the curriculum is given
    through activities and occupations but not through lectures on
    ethics (Shahid, 2000).
    Naturalism and the Curriculum
    • Stages of Education:

    1. Infancy

    When the child is at this stage, the child is not


    mature. Infants’ psychology is totally different from the
    adults. At this stage the child can be taught through
    normal conversation (Chandra and Sharma, 2006).
    Naturalism and the Curriculum
    • Stages of Education:

    2. Childhood

    Rousseau believed that child should not be given


    books up till the age of twelve. The child must learn
    through experience. The child learns naturally through his
    own actions and starts developing the ability of reasoning
    (Chandra and Sharma, 2006).
    Naturalism and the Curriculum
    • Stages of Education:

    3. Adolescence

    At this stage the child can be taught formal education.


    The child is exposed to various subjects such as
    physical sciences, language, mathematics, social studies and
    music and drawing and some kind of professional training.
    According to Rousseau, education should be given through
    activities and not by books because activities give more
    knowledge than books (Chandra and Sharma, 2006).
    Naturalism and the Curriculum
    • Stages of Education:

    4. Youth

    At this stage special emphasis is laid on moral and


    religious education. Moral education can also be derived
    through actual experience. Religious education can be
    taught through the teachings of history, mythological
    stories and religious stories (Chandra and Sharma,
    2006).
    Naturalism and the Curriculum
    • According to Rousseau, aim of education is not preparation for
    life, but participation in it.
    • The aim of education during the first stage of a child is to gain
    knowledge and all the wants and needs of a child are to be
    fulfilled.
    • The second aim of education is to provide the child with the
    strength that the child lacks of the ability of being free (Khalid,
    1998).
    • At the third stage the aim of education is to enable the child to
    acquire useful knowledge which would satisfy the child’s wants.
    • The aim of education is to develop the child emotionally and
    morally according to the child’s needs (Shahid, 2000).
    Naturalism
    The Teacher and the Students
    • According to naturalists people learn more through direct
    experience that is by doing rather than by reading the
    books.
    • Another method is Heuristic method which means to find
    or to discover, the children are provided with situation
    and opportunities and the children search.
    • Naturalists stress upon direct method of teaching.
    Teaching through things rather than words is given
    importance (Saho, 2002).
    • Rousseau emphasized two-way play method of teaching,
    learning by doing, during play also child learns a lot and is
    educated (Khalid, 1998).
