The Aim of Education

What I love about this is that Lou stresses that it's not about the amount of education a person has but how they use it. We have to encourage students to want to know more and how to use what they know.

The Aim of Education   

“The Great aim of education is not knowledge but action.”

Hebert Spencer 1820 – 1903, English Philosopher

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

The aim of education

 

Most people will tell you in surveys that it’s knowledge . . . . But knowledge by itself has limited value to the person that has the knowledge.

 

The real purpose of education is to transfer to knowledge to the student (the Lender) . . . . and to inspire the student into action to use their education and knowledge with a purpose.

 

Education will have varying affects on the student some will accumulate far more knowledge then other students . . . .

 

The key is not the amount the education the student accumulates.  But in how the student uses their education. The student will be measured by how they apply their knowledge and in the benefits that the student receives from their education on a daily basic.

 

A highly motivated person will take their education . . . . and apply it with the determination to maximize it into a successful career. While others, will waste their education and turn it into minimal results.

 

The aim of education . . . . is to inspire the student to turn education into positive activities and use it.

Education is useless if it is not shared.

Knowledge happens when we share our education because others can think for themselves, and learn.

Hi Kathy,
I think the aim of education should be to teach the students to use their knowledge to think critically and come to their own conclusions... not to accept what is commonly accepted as truth.

The key is not the amount the education the student accumulates.  But in how the student uses their education.

Boy isn't that the truth. If more people could see education with that perspective it would be wonderful Kathy Streib

Have to agree with Jay Markanich to bottle up what you know and not share it makes the education useless...which is one of the reasons people come to AR...to share and learn.

I agree with what Lou says about education.  My mother had only an 8th grade education.  Yet, her spelling was always perfect, and she wrote the most beautiful letters.  She also had practical knowledge that would put some with advanced education to shame.
