Our College & Schools
Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. Educational methods include storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and directed research. Education frequently takes place under the guidance of educators, but learners may also educate themselves. Education can take place in formal or informal settings, and any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational.
As adults trained the young in the knowledge and skills deemed necessary in their society. In many societies, this was achieved orally and through imitation. Storytelling passed knowledge, values, and skills from one generation to the next.
