Abstract :
Learning is a fundamental human activity that occurs throughout life. Growth is inherent in each and every individual; with it comes more empowerment. Education and educational systems are constructed to support learning and growth. Process Educationtrade is a performance-based philosophy of education which integrates many different educational theories, processes, and tools in emphasizing the continuous development of learning skills through the use of assessment principles in order to produce learner self-development. Process Education principles enhance and accelerate the learning and growth processes. The innovative philosophy and practice of Process Education have demonstrated significant success in the educational domain and in other professional and personal domains. We are investigating the depth and breadth of achievement of Process Educational philosophy and practice across multiple domains and will analyze future directions.
