Education
Explanation:
HERE IS HOW IN CORRECT ORDER
EDUCATION IS NOT THE LEARNING OF FACTS
Answer:
According to Einstein, learning facts is not education...
Explanation:
Because learning facts by themselves without critical thought, understanding, is no education to teach our young.
Obviously facts are important whether they are scientific, historical, political or whatever and you cannot be an Einstein without a basic (advanced?) level of the ‘facts’ of mathematics, You try formulating the general theory of relativity from scratch without them but just as important, if not more, is the capacity to think.
Too much of our education systems are geared to the rote learning of facts merely to regurgitate them in a three hour paper; this is not the education we should be providing. Rather we should be paying due attention to creativity, lateral thinking, new ways of seeing together with the rote learning of facts; this is what I think Einstein meant.
Sure, Einstein built on the work of his predecessors, Newton, Maxwell, Lorentz etc, ‘the shoulders of giants’, but his was a profound illumination of the concept of gravity, which had never been visualised in that way. Such an approach permeates late nineteenth and twentieth century thinking; Maxwell and his four equations, Planck and his solution to black body radiation, Feynman and his diagrams, Freud and his examination of the psyche, Crick and Watson and the ‘solution’ to self-replication.
Maybe it is all different now but I learnt none of these things while at school!.
