As we train for education, like we do for many events in life, we travel along a three-track process: We study, we learn, we teach. Training for education leads to the development of educational skills, which can facilitate success in school, when developed properly.
The educational training process provides an opportunity to study, learn, teach, and develop skills at a favorable rate of growth. This can be accomplished at an individual and collaborative level. It also provides an opportunity to commit mistakes and errors which should then be repaired and corrected prior to proceeding with further training.
Following Warming Up, the initial stage of educational training, is the Practice stage. The educational training stage of practice has two components: Drills and Application. Educational training drills should be designed to develop a core central knowledge from which ideas and concepts radiate. Educational training application draws from our understanding of knowledge to produce work.
With the development of core central knowledge, from which ideas and concepts radiate, and the application of understanding, by producing work, we can successfully complete the practice stage of educational training. The educational training stage of practice brings to a close the training process of education. With the educational training process complete, after warming up through stretching and conditioning, and practicing through drills and application, we can proceed to use the skills, which have facilitated success at school, in our daily life. Whether it is at home, at work, or in pursuit of further education.
