CONCLUSION
Education is based on psychology of the
child & in accordance with his nature. Naturalists
keep the child in the forefront in the entire process of
education. The teacher, school, curriculum, methods
of teaching are not so important as the child, who is
to be educated. Naturalist wants the school to
provide an environment which is conducive to the
free development of the growing child.
