Paedagogiesmeans education science, a scientific
discipline related to conscious efforts of spiritual and
physical maturation, in forming a personality that contains
moral values.
In Roman language it is called "educare" which
means to issue and guide, in English it is called
"education". According to WM Collins: "education is the
2
act or process of imparting knowledge" namely a business
or process of imparting knowledge or transferring
knowledge, but in this sense it is not involved with values.
While in Arabic there are three words that are close in
meaning to education, namely "ta'lim", "ta'dib" and
"tarbiyah". According to Naquib al Atas as quoted by Prof.
Dr. Ramayulis: Tarbiyah is semantically not specifically
intended to educate humans, but can be applied to other
species, such as minerals, plants and animals. In addition,
"tarbiyah" has a material connotation; it means to nurture,
to bear, to feed, to develop, to nurture, to make, to increase
growth, to raise, to produce ripe and tame results. As for
