FOUR PILLLARS OF EDUCATION

The first pillar of education, "Learning to Know," emphasizes the foundation of


acquiring knowledge and developing the ability to think and learn independently.

Focus: It's about learning how to learn, not just memorizing facts.
Skills: It includes skills like observation, questioning, critical thinking, and
problem-solving.
Goal: To build curiosity and lifelong learning habits.
Components
Concentration
The ability to focus attention on a task or concept, ignoring distractions.
Example: Paying close attention during a lesson to understand a new concept.
Memory
The capacity to store and recall information when needed.
Example: Remembering multiplication tables to solve math problems.
Thinking
Using reasoning, creativity, and problem-solving to process information and form
ideas.
Example: Comparing and contrasting two historical events to understand their
causes and effects.
As a Means
Example:
A student learning basic math to solve everyday problems.
Simple Understanding:
The knowledge (math skills) helps them figure out things like budgeting or
measuring ingredients while cooking.

As an End
Example:
A student studying history to understand how societies evolved.
Simple Understanding:
The purpose is to gain deeper knowledge and appreciation for human
development, not just to pass a test or solve an immediate problem.
Learning to Do, the second pillar of education, focuses on gaining practical
skills and abilities to put knowledge into action. It’s about developing
competencies that enable individuals to effectively face challenges, solve
problems, and contribute meaningfully to society.
• "Learning to Do" means learning how to apply what you know.
• It’s about practicing skills, gaining experience, and becoming capable of
performing tasks independently and responsibly.
For example:
• A student learning to fix a bicycle, not just reading about it.
• Practicing communication skills through role-playing.
• Learning teamwork by participating in group projects.
Examples of "Learning to Do" Activities
Project-Based Learning (PBL)
• Students work on real-life projects, such as designing a sustainable garden,
creating a business plan, or building a model of a renewable energy device.
• Emphasis is on teamwork, critical thinking, and application of theoretical
knowledge.
Vocational Training or Skill Development Workshops
• Activities like carpentry, sewing, coding, or culinary arts.
• Students acquire hands-on skills that can lead to self-sufficiency or
employment.
Internships and Apprenticeship
• Students participate in on-the-job training in fields such as
healthcare, technology, or education, applying what they’ve
learned in the classroom.
Simulations and Role-Playing
• Scenarios like running a mock business, managing a classroom, or
responding to a crisis (e.g., emergency drills or environmental
management tasks).Develops decision-making and
problem-solving skills.
Technology Integration
• Students learn to use tools such as programming software, digital
editing platforms, or robotics kits.
• Enhances digital literacy and prepares students for technological
demands in various fields.
Community Service and Social Action Projects
• Organizing and implementing community programs such as
literacy campaigns, health awareness drives, or environmental
cleanups.
• Combines service with practical application of organizational and
interpersonal skills.
Assessment Strategies for "Learning to Do"
• Portfolios showcasing projects and achievements.
• Peer and self-assessments to reflect on skills and
contributions.
• Performance-based assessments, such as a presentation
or demonstration.
• Feedback from community partners or mentors for service
projects or internships.
- emphasizing the development of skills and
values that promote harmony, respect, and
cooperation among people from diverse
backgrounds.
- It encourages empathy, communication, and
collaboration to address shared challenges and
build peaceful societies.
EXAMPLE: Imagine a classroom with students from different
cultures, religions, or economic backgrounds. The teacher
organizes a group project where students must work together
to create a poster about environmental conservation.

Process: The students discuss their ideas, share responsibilities, and


respect each other's input.
Outcome: They not only complete the project but also learn about each
other's perspectives and build mutual understanding.
- It emphasizes building self-confidence,
emotional intelligence, ethical values, and life
skills that help individuals navigate challenges
and contribute meaningfully to society.
EXAMPLE: A child who learns to express their emotions respectfully
and resolve conflicts with classmates is practicing "Learning to Be." For
instance:
Scenario: During a group activity, two students have a disagreement
about how to complete a task.
Action: One student remembers the value of empathy taught in class
and listens to the other's perspective calmly before suggesting a
compromise.
Outcome: The group finishes the task harmoniously, and the student
feels a sense of personal growth.
