The
nature, origin and scope of knowledge
A central tenet of education typically includes “the imparting
of knowledge.” At a very basic level, this purpose ultimately
deals with the nature, origin and scope of knowledge. The branch
of philosophy that addresses these and related issues is known as
epistemology. This area of study often focuses on analyzing the
nature and variety of knowledge and how it relates to similar notions
such as truth and belief.
While the term, knowledge, is often used to convey this general purpose of education, it can also be viewed as part of a continuum of knowing that ranges from very specific data to the highest levels. Seen in this light, the continuum may be thought to consist of a general hierarchy of overlapping levels of knowing. Students must be able to connect new information to a piece of old information to be better able to learn, understand, and retain information. This continuum may include notions such as data, information, knowledge, wisdom, and realization. |
