Is education science? - Five Second Pose - 2012-11-20
SaptaZapta Wrote:In my opinion, Education is not a Science. It's a Technology.
Science is research. It is observation and experimentation and the formation of theories and the testing of them. Its purpose is to find out how the universe works.
Technology is the application of science to life. Its purpose is to use the principles discovered by science to perform useful tasks.
Education is an application of psychology and sociology.
I agree with this most. Education as we know it is just an application of mass production to the concept of producing adults that fit into society.

Ah I remember that XKCD comic fondly. Makes me love and hate Mathematics at the same time.
Mathematics is the fundamental language of Science. Doesn't mean it's used the most but it is the fundamental basis.

Sardines Wrote:Ambiguous word usage.
I want more than one answer and I'm sure that the words I used, ambiguous as they are, will accomplish it.
Sardines Wrote:As for what science and education are, I feel that both are broad terms that are highly open to interpretation. You can attempt interpret it liberally, scientifically, colloquially, and any other shade that might exist. I mean to me it's like piddling over semantics.
No, it's not about how you chose to interpret it but your interpretation that I'm interested in.
