People can get an education wherever and whenever they are, such as from family or school. As we know, the highest level of education in the school is University. In contrast, the education style in university level between countries was very different. For example, like Indonesia and New Zealand. Although it was different, the education style in university level in New Zealand is better than Indonesia. It can be proved by the student …show more content…
Formal is one word that can describe the teaching style in University level in Indonesia. Either boys or girls, they must use a formal uniform if they want to be permitted to study in the class. Moreover, they must respect to their lecture during the lecture teach them. Commonly, the teacher teaches them by giving notes in the whiteboard and then telling it to the student. If the student has a question, they must be active to ask the lecture, because the lecture just answers for the student who really wants to know. If they have assignments from a book, they must search that book because the lecture never gives them books during they teach in the class. No online studying too in the teaching style in Indonesia until now. In contrast, New Zealand teaching style is more relax than Indonesia. Although sometimes it can be a formal section, but the student always enjoy to study in the class. They also can use any kind of clothes to the class, as long as it’s good-looked. In the class, the teacher teaches the student by giving notes, doing questions and answers section, and group studying.

Education is the act or process of acquiring knowledge to prepare oneself intellectually for mature life. It is the standard foundation for most youth growing up. A good solid education background is what can take you to different heights as they become young adults. “The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives” quoted by Robert Maynard Hutchins. The statement is true to the form of getting an education prepares you for a prosperous life ahead. Knowledge is power and knowledge is needed to have stability within your life. In “Bodega Dreams” by Ernesto Quinonez education is the basis of entire society. But does it
Education is in itself a concept, which has changed over the millennia, can mean different things and has had differing purposes according to time and culture. Education may take place anywhere, is not constrained by bricks and mortar, delivery mechanisms or legislative requirements. Carr (2003. p19) even states, “education does not necessarily involve teaching”. Education, by one definition, is the act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life (education, n.d.).
First the question of education. How can one define it? It’s either a broad concept whe...
In conclusion, I think that we should replace Mr. Kohn’s question “What does it mean to be well educated?” with a more specific question “Are we teaching the right things, to the right people, in the right way?” I am still a student, and I have so much to learn, but as I go through life after college, I truly hope that I continue to learn and that I can share what I know with others. I like the Webster’s Dictionary definition of education as “the knowledge and development resulting from an educational process” It seems to be a loose definition, but I think it is very appropriate. The words “educational process” makes me think more of training than of schooling. I believe the main goal of education should be to train us for the life ahead weather that means fifty years or five minutes.
Education has different perspectives and meanings for most. Education is known as the process of receiving methodical instruction especially in institutions such as high schools or colleges. Education rightfully benefits an individual’s ability to explore a deeper literate meaning while also helping avoid societal embarrassment. Some see the general aspect of education as a measure of socioeconomic status while others perceive education as a tool of knowledgeable attainment. Regardless of the many different faces education possesses all combine to create the concept that education serves as a medium to producing a learning society.
Education is a process of enlightenment for the attainment of an improved and advanced quality of life. Education is the most powerful agency instrumental in bringing about the desired changes in the social and cultural life of a nation. An efficient system of education leads to the strengthening of learners’ competencies and the enrichment of their talents, interests and values.
Education is the process of receiving knowledge, which is gained through various ways, but the most popular way is through school. Usually in society school dedicates how much education is received and individuals are ranked within a society based on an understanding of the taught material. As McCandless said “You don't need to worry about me. I have a college education” (Krakauer 52). I would agree with that there is a difference between education and school because there are many other ways education can be gained other than going to an institution. However, school institutions provide the most basic and constant access to education to many. Education is earned through traveling the world and learning about other cultures or other forms of
Education is an activity we all feel that we know something about, having had personal and direct experience of it. Education has become a large industry employing many hundreds of thousands of people in Britain alone. It is supposedly an important part of ensuring future economic development yet it also imposes a major financial cost. Education plays a central role in society and also in all of our lives. So education is a very complex set of activities and institutions which is not easy to define. Students know that they have to trust that sometimes, what they are doing isn’t going to affect them immediately but it will in the long run. Peters (1966) an education philosopher said:
The word education is derived from Latin word “Educere” by Edex and Ducer, which means to lead, to train, to bring up to nourish. So education can be defined as “to lead out the inner potentialities of an individual. Literally it means to collect information or to provide information and utilize the capabilities of the people. The word Education generally means training or teaching of people especially in institutions called schools, to learn or to improve and develop the power of mind and skills. (Muhammad Saleem Naz , Education In The Ex,State of Swat).

Education is a broad term that can be interpreted in different ways depending on what a person thinks of it, how he or she experiences or values it. In my own definition, education is about acquiring knowledge, information, values and experiences formally and informally which can make an individual a better person by changing the way one acts and thinks. Formal education as in learning takes place in school where knowledge and skills are commonly taught whereas informal education in which people are self-taught and they learn values or gain experiences from their daily life.
Education is the process of learning and acquiring knowledge at school from a teacher, receiving knowledge at home from a parent, a family member, and even friend. Education is a key that allows people to move up in the world, seek better jobs, and succeed in life. Education is one factor that affects job positions people hold, advance in their further career, the income they make, and the title they hold. The more educated a person is, the more prestige and power that person holds. Education improves the quality of life, reduces ignorance, and exposes frontiers and opportunities not previously handled. Education also focuses on the values, attitudes and behaviors that enable individuals to learn to live together in a world characterized by diversity and pluralism. Countries with a higher educated population will undoubtedly succeed in their economy, welfare, and trade, etc. China has the world’s largest education system. Many people in today’s generation believe that the world’s most intelligent individuals reside in China. With its growing population competition within China and internationally has become very apparent. Chinese children aged 6 through 15 are required to attend school. China’s education proves to be the strongest system in the world, not only in modern day, but also in the past. The education system of China unmistakably varies in comparison with the United States.
Education is the act or process of providing knowledge skills or competence by a formal course of instruction or training. Through out history societies have sought to educate their people to produce goods and services, to respond effectively and creatively to their world, and to satisfy their curiosity and aesthetic impulses. To achieve reliable knowledge and to think systematically. Over the course of human history education has appeared in many forms, both formalised and informal. Major thinkers have always recognised the educational value of intellectual exploration and of concrete experimentation. Most societies have attempted to standardise the behaviour of their members. These societies have apprenticeship systems by which the young have learned to imitate the beliefs and behaviours of a given group. Teachers have worked within schools of thought cults, monasteries and other types of organisations to shape desired convictions, knowledge and behaviour. Such philosophical and religious leaders as the Budha, Confucius, Pythagoras, Jesus, Moses, Muhammad and Karl Marx instructed their disciplines through informal education.
There is no one single definition for what education really is. Experts and scholars from the beginning have viewed and commented about education in different ways. The definition mostly agreed upon was that education is an acquisition or passing of skills, behavior or knowledge from an institution to another. This institution can either be a person, a school, a family or even the society. If we go in the ancient meaning and the ideology of education, it means to lead out of ignorance. In other words, education or knowledge in this sense was light and education brought the person out of the dark. The purpose and ideology of education is therefore to bring out the potential of a person and pass on knowledge
Education is the destined formation in obtaining the development of the intellectual capacities of individuals. It can be defined as the process of socialization of individuals. Education is one of the most powerful resources to reduce inequality and poverty, it is a natural process associated with growth. On having been educated, a person assimilates and gains knowledge. Education also implies a cultural and behavioral raising awareness, where the new generations acquire the manners of being or the ways of life of previous generations. Malcolm Forbes once said, "The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one”. It is the common objective of educational systems in different countries to cultivate its citizens to become
