Three educational reforms are temple education, homeschooling and apprenticeship. Each has played a vital part in the educational process. Regardless of the method used the students learned. In the temple education the students learned the duties of the religious part of life. They learned writing which was very important. In homeschooling learning, the students learned life through imitation from others that would be used perhaps to carry on the family business. In apprenticeship learning the students were being mentored. This duty of being mentored was taken seriously and if not the student was dismissed.
Regardless of the method the one that had the most impact was apprenticeship or on the job training. This was the on the job training that the student received. This was taken seriously so much that the person taking in the student considered that individual his own son. That individual was treated as such. The student that did not do well was sent back to his father’s house.
This training that the student received taught the student to do a specific duty or task. On the job training was used in conjunction with distant learning that was taught at home. The training received at home did not require formal education. Neither does on the job training. Formal education would have been considered knowledge of reading and writing. With on the job training the student would be told what is being correct or incorrect about the skill being learned. This form of training resulted in automatic feedback.
Due to this training being so vital it is still used today in our society. With this training the person receiving the training is provided all that is required to do the specific task. It is very cost effective for all involved. The trainee must be a willing participant and the trainer should be highly skilled. The reason for this is to ensure the skill being learned is taught correctly and will be conducted in the same manner. As one can see education from ancient times are very important and beneficial for the way society is learning being trained and taught today. In my opinion with on the job training one is being given direct instructions and formal education one is being taught and with both societies will benefit.
