Theories of education were developed around the 5th century BC, particularly in Athens, Greece. With these theories came the so-called Sophists, a new generation of professional teachers, whose goal was to train his students, usually very young, in a new world of personal and intellectual freedom. The sophists shifted the focus of education from traditional activities to more physical and engaging ones, but included traditional religious and moral values ​​as part of education; Plato established the basic goals of education, but both the sophists and technology increased our ability to achieve these goals. The sophist's goal was to develop students to be successful in society under any circumstances. The Sophists used new methods, focused on the power of mind, speech, and reason: “The Sophists revolutionized higher education. Their goals were eminently practical” (Gordon 414). Socrates and his most famous student, Plato, were part of the same sophist movement. Both of these philosophers contributed enormously to the foundations of teaching and had an impact on educational theory; these philosophers aimed to bring education to a new level where it could refine the minds of students, so that they could find their truth and right thinking. Socrates introduced a fabulous new innovation, “what Aristotle called the use of inductive arguments” (Gordon 415). It was a dialect or also called Socratic conversation which consisted of asking students questions, posing problems and analyzing and criticizing the answers, which ultimately led them to a conclusion, which part of the time did not reach a solid basis. It was a disconcerting method for students; the goal was to train students to enhance their intellectual abilities making them...... half of paper...... time to develop students' critical skills, guiding them in developing not only knowledge and skills but also of mental qualities that they will use throughout their lives; as well as the intellectual challenge and responsibility of defending one's truth. As a student I certainly agree with these beliefs, but as education has evolved since the times of the Greeks and Romans, the essence of education has inevitably changed due to the massive development of universities in a short period of time . The idea that attending a university is the key to professional and technological success and the way we gather information today is very different than when we face a challenge or question that comes to mind. We misuse technology and make it a way to get answers and information without even trying to develop our critical thinking skills and mental stimulation.
