“To Train or to Educate?”

Abstract

Do we train or do we educate? The argument has been met since early Egypt. Are we simply to pass on the accumulated wisdom and knowledge of previous generations or are we to develop students who can think abstract thought, solve problems, establish theories and models? Argues that these questions must be addressed directly as we search for a purpose of schools and schooling.
