THE LEARNING PROCESS: Education Defined: Education is to produce, humanistically, the individual in society with a definite & profound individuality. Intellectual training should aim at developing the individual, the person who is mentally alert, active in investigation, & controlled by reason, discretion, honesty, & professionalism. For education to be meaningful, it must equip people with interests and ideals which make for the nobler enjoyments in life. Education must prepare individuals to create efficiently and to live effectively in a cooperative, interdependent society. We must progress beyond mere knowledge to that of wisdom-educationally-in which intelligent understanding and appreciation of our cultural, social, and spiritual values are humanistically combined. The refocusing of priorities and the reorganization of our educational system is mandatory to satisfy future needs. Learning is meant to be life-long, and education is to span one's lifelong existence. Education cannot exist without society, & society cannot exist without education. Reorganization of our educational system must be creatively and heuristically structured. The permanent orientation of the past is not suitable to the transient orientation of the future. Our educational system of rigidity must give way to one of fluidity. Diversity of goals and objectives in education will provide the key to salvation of society's needs. Unification will be found in educational and societal skills. Communication and integration, mandatory skills for the preservation of society, will be attainable through the educational system of skills. Preference will be given to one's learning how to learn. Acquisition of knowledge will increasingly give way to obsolescence. Transience will enrapture our society. Human values will reshape the future of society. Alternative futures will fill tomorrow as a way of life. The options open to us can only be obscured by our own lack of imagination and power of creativity. All that can be imagined is possible if not probable. The framework included in this book of organizational systems on future oriented learning is: (a) Future Oriented Learning: For Space; (b) Future Oriented Learning: For Organization; (c) Future Oriented Learning: For Children; and (d) Future Oriented Learning: For Teache
