Traditional and modern education systems in Ayurveda education: a critical integrative review

Frontiers in EducationInternationalHigh confidence1 min

What changed

Āyurveda education has undergone a significant transformation, moving from a traditional, personalized, and philosophically integrated Gurukul system to a modern, institutionalized, and competency-based university model. This evolution reflects a broader societal shift from historical knowledge transmission methods to contemporary standardized educational frameworks.

Why it matters

Understanding the evolution of educational systems, particularly in established disciplines, is crucial for developing robust and adaptable curricula. The tension between preserving traditional pedagogical values and integrating modern educational standards can inform strategies for knowledge transfer and skill development across various fields.

What to watch

Historically, Āyurveda education was delivered through the Gurukul system, characterized by personalized, residential learning and a strong emphasis on moral discipline and the Guru-Śiṣya Paramparā (teacher-disciple lineage).
