Conclusion
Throughout this chapter, the focus was on key aspects of learning and education through its history, important changes, foundational concepts, the science behind it, and critical thinking. What this serves as is a primer towards future chapters, and developing a baseline for learning and education. Moving forward, these concepts can be reviewed from the history of education to critical thinking in order to build a broader understanding of learning and education.
These are the learning objectives for this chapter:
- The Chicago and industrialized education system was compared.
- The basic concepts required to fully participate in society and the innate senses of learning are the cores of foundational learning.
- Science is behind critically asking questions and challenging notions about education to provide clear answers.
- Critical thinking can be wide-ranging, depending on the topic.
