RE: Towards a Holistic Philosophy of Education
Yes, I like that distinction: training vs. teaching. One can learn facts and skills in a training session, and even be able to use them efficiently. However, teaching has connotations of wisdom and discernment. Training is goal-oriented with a very specific result in mind. Teaching is process-oriented, helping students become better learners.
In my mind, an educational revolution will never happen top-down, through legislations and policies. A cultural paradigm shift is needed, and this will happen over time as educators, one by one, take their own personal initiative on their campuses.
