As September 2014 comes to a close, we take a look back at what has been the theme for the month "The Labor of Education". Labor is hard work. That which requires laboring needs hard workers who are willing to put effort into achieving an objective. Some labor can be done by individuals who have been given knowledge and have trained in skills that are essential for success. Some labor requires that individuals work together as a team while grouping those who share similar skills and knowledge so as to develop special units which facilitate the work of the team. Education is a labor which requires us to learn, study, and teach. Together, these three stages make up the educational process.
The education process is composed of three stages: Learning, Studying, Teaching. Each one of these stages facilitates the education process, and can be done with efficiency by following the steps that we discussed in 5 Steps to Efficient Learning, 4 Steps to Efficient Studying, and 3 Steps to Efficient Teaching. Here is a brief look at the steps which should be taken in each stage of the education process:
Learning
- Place & Time
- Appropriate Skills & Knowledge
- Engage with Others
- Persevere through Patience
- Plan for More
Studying
- Evaluate
- Correct
