Hi Mahesh!

That's a tricky question, with even trickier answers. Various sciences have different answers to that question: biology, psychology, sociology... Here's my belief: ultimately, no one can change the natural disposition of anyone; if there's such a change, it comes from within the individual.

Of course, that doesn't mean that you can't exert some kind of influence on that individual. That depends on his/her willingness to accept change (as Dr. Qais Faryadi said, above); that willingness to accept change is achieved through the social and affectual relation of one to another — the more empathy to the person that you want to change, the more likelyhood for him/her to change accordingly — especially with younger people.

Of course I'm oversimplifying my answer. I'm not considering hypnosis or chemically induced changes. My approach here is both as an arts teacher and a father.

For further information on this topic, I suggest, e.g.: Michel Foucault's "L' HERMÉNEUTIQUE DU SUJET" (2001), the works of Lev Vygotsky ("The Cambridge Companion to VYGOTSKY" is a nice overview of his work) and Jean Piaget.

Take care!

Education brings exposure. Exposure brings innovation and modernization. When people learn or got educated, they are more exposed. Their level of exposure determines the innovation which is a function of change. Education changes peoples a lot.

Dear Dr. Ivanov, thanks for your nice reply.

Religious teaching.

Important topic

Following

I think yes

Teaching and learning is an interactive process, long-term stability and balance, improvement and progress for the benefit of students. The period of access to balance, impact / affect and influence may vary among students

The core aim of every kind of education is to transform behaviours. Thus we say, 'education for change'.

However, to ensure the effectiveness of this change in attitudes of learners, more effective teaching methods must be devulged by tutors to maximize learning outcomes- potent force in transforming even the hard-rooted natural disposition of learners in positive perspectives. Moral education and other humanistic disciplines tackle the natural dispositional development of learners.

The answer to that question is near to the answer to: what goes first, education or development? Person should have some kind of development to be educated or an adequate education can change, increase the development state of any person? Or, Is development biologically "wired" or it is the result of interaction of a given person with the environment and with other persons?

In case you think that education can have a developmental effect, that it is genetically (in the sense of genesis, not gen) primary in relation to development, then you are following cultural historical approach and Activity Theory, in any of their trends (following Vigotsky or Classical Soviet - Russian Activity Theory, or Systemic Structural Activity Theory, or Scandinavian Activity Theory or Danish Activity Theory.

Mainly I think that, within the human range of human development (it means, one has to be a human being, and to posses a human normal brain), adequate education can change human skills, knowledge, behavior. Thanks to that, among other factors, evolution took and take place (acting learning in the context of social historical relations).

Dear worthy RG colleagues thanks for your replies, nice thoughts and suggestions.

Thanks again.

Thank you Dr Mahesh Kumar for this stimulating question that prevailed in such an important informations and discussions. ......... I am following

Thanks Dr Lamia for your participation and appreciation.

Teaching and research together make one perfect.

The natural disposition of a person means the inherent nature what he has, which I think can never be changed.

Directly or indirectly we are influenced and often made by what we learn.

Education has the capacity to change the way we think and act in every aspect of life. We should continue to learn both in the academic space and life generally.
