The word knowledge is central to education. People often assume that everyone "means" the same thing when they use the word. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Beliefs about the nature of knowledge—about what it is, where it comes from, and how people acquire it—abound. Those beliefs are fundamental to the way education works. Therefore, we must question what curriculum designers, teachers, parents, or students really mean when they use the word knowledge.
THOUGHTS
Students must learn the basics before they can tackle more complex problems.
The primary role of the teacher is to give students the knowledge they need to function effectively in the world.
Good discipline is the basis of good teaching.
