PHILOSOPHY, EDUCATION

AND MEANINGFUL LEARNING

Jim Kidd

Philosophy contains a comprehensive view for developing

an organized groundwork for education.

Education is the sharing of academic and life skills, from one person to another,

including social, cultural

and intellectual continuity.

It is a way of providing skills, abilities and understanding

to develop things in light of

changing conditions.

Meaningful learning is a comprehensive understanding making connections between

new information and

prior knowledge.

It is recognizing relationships.

Organization is making connections

among various pieces of new information.

We remember more when we organize it.

Elaboration is using prior knowledge

to expand on a new idea.

This is going beyond information that was actually presented.
