Knowledge-based Education

Knowledge is indeed essential in our daily lives. When we study, we need to know facts, formulas, stories and some general knowledge in order to pass exams with flying colours.

Knowledge is important for working life. You need to remember clients' name, details, application of certain formulas, knowledge on products and machines, etc.

Memorization? Is it important? Well, it depends on certain occasion. Our syllabus or textbooks really have their function in providing knowledge to students. Students nowadays use the memorization skills too widely that occasionally they do not understand what they are reading.



Have you ever wondered why you need to learn Subjects like History and Geography? They do test your memory schemata, don't they? What is the purpose? Knowledge? Maybe.

Certain subjects in school only have the abilities to provide knowledge but they cannot bring the best out of a student. Sometimes, you may see certain students are not so competent or good at subjects requiring memory power, but they are excellent in subjects that involve your left-brain (calculation and logic).

Do you think that by knowing everything in the book can guarantee you a job or a bright future?Think thoroughly again. Well, by knowing and drilling all the knowledge into your brain only makes you a knowledgeable person, not entirely educated. In other words, nerd or geek is something or name that people will address you.

It has got something more than just merely knowledge, isn't it? It is truly not easy to call yourself an educated person, right? Ask yourself, how educated are you anyway?
