“Training is given to animals and circus performers, while education is to human beings.” Whose quote is this? Correct Answer W.H. Kilpatric

Teacher education encompasses teaching skills, knowledge of pedagogical theory, and professional skills. Teaching skills would include providing training and practice in the different techniques, approaches, and strategies that would help the teachers to plan and impart instruction, provide appropriate reinforcement and conduct effective assessment.

Key Points

• Between 1906 and 1956, the program of teacher preparation was called teacher training.
• It prepared teachers as mechanics or technicians. It had narrower goals with its focus being only on skill training. 
• As W H Kilpatric quoted: "Training is given to animals and circus performers, while education is to human beings".
• It means that human beings should be educated with skills and they don't need to be trained because Kilpatric believed that only animals should be given training. 
• Training means to train someone to behave someone specifically when given a certain set of stimuli. And when human beings can understand the language of words, can acquire the skills then there is no need to give training to them.

Hence, it is clear that the above-given statement is quoted by W H Kilpatric.
