Education refers to the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. This can involve storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and research that is directed by a teacher. While education is generally guided educators (teachers), students may also educate themselves (i.e. self taught). The science of teaching is called pedagogy, with its stages often including: preschool (kindergarten), primary school, secondary school (and possibly college), university, or apprenticeship to a master tradesman.
Also in this BookScience is a systematic enterprise that builds knowledge through formulating testable hypothese and predictions about the physical universe. Its earliest roots of science can be traced to Ancient Egypt, India and Mesopotamia in around 3500 to 3000 BC. Scientific fields may be divided into: natural sciences, which examine natural phenomena including biological lifeforms, and social sciences, which analyze human behavior and societies. Both are empirical sciences. Disciplines that may be termed interdisciplinary applied sciences include engineering and medicine. Mathematics, which is formally classified as a science, exhibits similarities and differences to empirical sciences.
And in this BookResearch is undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge, and the use of that knowledge to improve performance or undertake new activity. Research is used to establish new hypothese or test established hypotheses.
