  • Biology Education, Creativity & Career
    International Journal of Applied and Natural Sciences (IJANS) ISSN 2319-4014 Vol. 2, Issue 2, May 2013, 53-64 © IASET BIOLOGY EDUCATION, CREATIVITY & CAREER KAMBADUR MURALIDHAR Hormone Research Laboratory, Department of Zoology, University of Delhi, Delhi, India ABSTRACT The growth of biological thought during the last 500 years has been analyzed conceptually in the context of education at school, undergraduate and post graduate levels. Again in the context of creativity, the near absence of creativity in the Indian scientific enterprise has been explored and the factors which contribute to that have been discussed. The natural goal of biology would be Human Biology which will bring back creativity while it is being pursued. Biology would become the most fascinating frontier of all natural sciences in near future. What does it mean to have a successful career in Biology has been explained. Career opportunities in India for young people having aptitude for Biology have been discussed. KEYWORDS: Biology Education, Creativity, Human Biology, Career in Biology INTRODUCTION Education Education should liberate the young mind from false perceptions and values. It should enable the human mind think for itself. It should bring forth a mind-set of reflective mood. Education should empower each human consciousness to reach its highest level [1]. The goals of higher education were different in the colonial era when compared to those for the post-Independent India These were spelt out clearly by Jawaharlal Nehru and in the reports of both Sir Radhakrishnan and Prof DS Kothari led education commissions. Even these have undergone changes in the post-globalization era.
