Four Pillars of Education Continued ...

Four Pillars of Education provide us with a checklist of four basic components of holistic education:
1. learning to know,
2. learning to do,
3. learning to live together and
4. learning to be.
I. Learning to Know
This type of learning is radically different from ‘acquiring itemized codified information or factual knowledge’, as often stressed in conventional curriculum and in ‘rote learning’. Rather it implies ‘the mastering of the instruments of knowledge themselves’.
• ‘Acquiring knowledge in a never-ending process and can be enriched by
all forms of experience’.
• ‘Learning to know’ includes the development of the faculties
of memory, imagination, reasoning, problem-solving, and the ability to think in a coherent and critical way. It is ‘a process of discovery’, which takes time and involves going more deeply into the information/knowledge delivered through subject teaching.
• ‘Learning to know’ calls upon the power of concentration, memory and thought, so that it enables children to benefit from ongoing educational opportunities continuously arising (formally and non-formally) throughout life. Therefore ‘learning to know’ is regarded as both a means and an end in learning itself and in life. As a means, it enables individual learners to understand the very least enough about the nature, about humankind and its history, about his/her environment, and about society at large. As an end, it enables the learner to experience the pleasure of knowing, discovering and understanding as a process .
