John locke's theory of education

John Locke is one of a great philosopher in education. He known for his theory that at birth, minds are blank slate or tabula rasa. It means we don't know anythings, our mind is empty of knowledge.

According to him people learn through experience and perception.Through experience we learn things and lesson from the past. In his theory the metaphysics or things that exist in the world or what we see store in our mind, The minds focus on reality or what we seen.

And his theory are so meaning to me because its right we learn from our experience.We change the mistakes we done from the past. we know already what's wrong and right. 
 
In his theory for school system he focus on a group learning or outside school. For him, the children learn more outside with other children than in a formal school setting.

He said also to his theory the "epistemology or the theory of knowledge". Where you can question what knowledge is and how we it acquired. To gain knowledge we need to think to give answer or solution to the problem or question were asking.
