'''e) Pramana as teaching, learning tool:'''  
   −
Pramana are used in the medical texts like Charak and Sushruta Samhita to explain the knowledge matter to fellow peers and students. Thus it has wide applicability in the field of academic teaching and learning for accurate description of subject matter. Aptopadesha is the ideal method of learning any new phenomenon based on the basic known facts about the subject matter. Pratyaksha pramana helps to develop the scientific and self-experience based method to acquire and analyse the knowledge. Anumana helps in the predictive and logical interpretation of knowledge factor. Yukti is the logical reasoning aimed at development of the psychomotor domains of acquiring knowledge.

In view of contemporary medical methods, the concept of pramana is most similar or closely related to epistemology. Epistemology is the science of correct Knowledge. It is the process or method or science to obtain the knowledge.  It basically gives information regarding the sources of knowledge. It is an important part of research methodology forming the backbone of the same. It answers basic questions pertaining to knowledge process like how, when, what, and why. It is the basis of knowledge, understanding and formation. According to James Fredrick Farrier, it is means of production of knowledge and it is scepticism about different knowledge claims. Epistemology involves the process of obtaining the knowledge either through inductive or deductive process. The inductive process aims at formation of new theory while the deductive approach tests the knowledge and known theory. Thus the process of the inductive approach is from narrow to broad while deductive approach goes from broader knowledge to precise more specific knowledge.
