11. WHAT IS EDUCATION?
• Natural learning environments inspire a
burning desire to learn
• What is education; knowledge in basic
skills, academics, technical, discipline, citizen
ship or is it something else?
12. WHAT IS EDUCATION?
Our formal education system says only
academic basics are important and that is
based on collecting knowledge without
understanding its value
13. WHAT IS EDUCATION?
How about the processing of knowledge, using
inspiration, visionary ambitions, creativity, risk,
ability to bounce back from failure,
motivation?
14. WHAT IS EDUCATION?
They succeeded because they knew how to
research, collect information for a selected
project and process knowledge
15. Anyone who does not have the ability to
put clear thoughts on paper is labeled a
failure
17. • The fact is, what is exercised grows
stronger, what is ignored stays dormant.
18. The classroom exercises the collection of
academics leaving all other natural skills in
the closet.
19. Test does not measure intelligence or ability, it does
not measure how the mind processes information,
how motivating experiences develop persistence, or
how the mind sorts out instincts, opinions,
evaluations, possibilities, alternatives
20. WHAT IS EDUCATION?
• Knowledge by itself has no value, it is like
a dictionary filled with words.
• Words by themselves have no value, it is
the process of stringing them together that
gives them value.
• How they are strung together determines
the level of value.
21. • Now our education system is becoming a system
that memorizes the dictionary
• When students have memorized selected
knowledge, then they will be given a one-day
test, based on dictionary knowledge, which will
influence employment opportunity for the rest of
their life
• Natural skills are not considered
22. WHAT IS EDUCATION?
• Achievers in life use inspiration and
motivation to overcome barriers.
• Teaching to the test does not inspire or
motivate anyone, memorizing does not
inspire a love to learn, in fact, it does just
the opposite, it turns off the desire to learn.
• Education’s goal should be to develop a
love to learn that stays with students
throughout a lifetime.
• Education should be a lifetime
experience, not limited to the youth years.
23. WHAT IS EDUCATION?
• Self-made millionaires are not "A" students
in the classroom.
• The way they process knowledge is in
conflict with classroom priorities.
• The self-made millionaire has a
vision, then he researches specific
knowledge, applies intuitive knowledge
and process all elements, searching for a
workable solution.
24. Finding alternative ways to do common
tasks makes millionaires. The secret is
vision, research and processing, not pre
stored knowledge alone.
25. An Educated Person
• perceive accurately, think clearly, and act
effectively according to self-defined goals
and aspirations.
• An educated person is also respectful of
others regardless of their power and
status, responsible for the results of their
actions, and resourceful at getting what
they need, both, personally and for their
family, organization, and /or society.
26. • It is true that the educated person needs
information, but an educated person is not
dependent on the information they have
stored in their heads, because they have
the ability to find information, create
knowledge, and develop skills when
necessary.
• Achieving the status of being educated
does not require a teacher.
27. • The necessity of having and manipulating
knowledge, skills and information
• The constant need to see through the
inherent illusions that arise from our
unconscious thought processes, and
• Our ability to influence our states of mind
28. An Educated Person
• What all learners are doing is developing a
map of reliable methods of getting from
negative states of mind to positive states
of mind.
• The units of knowledge skills and
information are points on the map, but
what makes the map useful are accurate
portrayals of the relationships between the
points and how those points can be used
to arrive at the desired states of mind.
29. An Educated Person
• The key quality of an educated person is
the ability to move from negative states of
mind to positive states of mind and assist
others to do the same.
• This covers all situations where there are
problems such as poverty, conflict, and
pollution as well as problems like
depression, ignorance, or ambition.
30. • The world that we are concerned with in
education is the human mind
• Students need to learn to navigate the
terrain of their own minds so that they can
effectively navigate the real world that
confronts that mind with all the challenges of
earthly human existence
31. • Consistent attainment of positive states of
mind is better known as having a good
attitude
• if everyone can achieve a good attitude and
help others do the same then the world will
be a better place.
32. An Educated Person
Thus education, the process of attaining and
assisting others to attain a good attitude that
enables a person to perceive
accurately, think clearly, and act effectively
according to self-selected goals, is
fundamentally about attitude no matter what
age or level of schooling you are concerned
with.
33. A Three Role Circus
• a learning agent,
• a learning catalyst,
• and the learning context.
34. A Three Role Circus
• The learning agent is the active map-
maker.
• The learning agent is obviously the
student as that role is normally thought of
in schools.
• The learning catalyst is someone or
something that the agent engages in a
deep relationship with and attempts to
understand how the catalyst fits into the
agent’s world.
35. What is knowledge?
• body of information that exists "out there“
• the results or products of human thought
processes that have taken on a life of their
own
• K…is the sum total of
facts, truths, laws, principles, and ideas
that man has produced
36. What is knowledge?
• "developing the Knowledge…of the
student" is conceptualized as "giving"
them these
facts, truths, laws, principles, ideas, and
history
• knowledge is not "out there," but arises in
the mind of an individual when that person
interacts with the world.
37. What is knowledge?
"The central task of education is to implant a
will and facility for learning; it should
produce not learned but learning people.
The truly human society is a learning
society, where grandparents, parents, and
children are students together." ~Eric Hoffer
38. What is knowledge?
"No one has yet realized the wealth of
sympathy, the kindness and generosity
hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of
every true education should be to unlock
that treasure." ~Emma Goldman
39. What is knowledge?
"The aim of education should be to teach us
rather how to think, than what to think—
rather to improve our minds, so as to enable
us to think for ourselves, than to load the
memory with the thoughts of other men."
~Bill Beattie
