Question- Education is a tri-polar aspect.

Answer -

Like Adams, John Dewey also regards education as a process of development. But while accepting the psychological view, Adams emphasizes the importance of the teacher and the child; John Dewey emphasizes the sociological viewpoint. According to John Dewey, education has two aspects: (1) Psychological and (2) Sociological. He accepts the contention that the education of the child should be according to his native endowments but he further asserts that the development of a child does not take place in a vacuum. It takes place in and through the society in which both the teacher and the child exist. It is the society that determines the aims, contents, and methods of teaching. Thus, the process of education contains three poles, namely:
(1) The teacher,
(2) The child,
(3) The society.

The three factors actively cooperate in the efficient and successful working of the educational process.
