1.1 Introduction

Dewey defines education as a process of living through a continuous reconstruction of experiences. It is the development of all those capacities in the individual, which will enable him to control his environment and fulfill his possibilities. Education, in its limited sense, includes and influences deliberately planned, chosen and employed by the community for the welfare of its coming generations. The purpose is to modify the behavior of the child and to shape his personality in a more desirable form (Khalid, 1998).
