#knowledge #epistemology # [[Epistemic status]] #shower-thought # Teaching >You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself. > ~ [[Galileo]] **Teaching** is about transferring [[Philosophy/Epistemology/Knowledge|knowledge]] from one brain to the other(s). [[Philosophy/Epistemology/Knowledge|knowledge]] is [[Information|information]] related with past [[Philosophy/Epistemology/Knowledge|knowledge]]. Therefore analogy is a powerful **teaching** tool. >A teacher is never a giver of truth; he is a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for himself. A good teacher is merely a catalyst. >~ [[Bruce Lee]] >Teachers are all absorbed by box-ticking: do this, do that; make sure the syllabus is covered; follow the government’s directives; blah, blah, blah. So they forget to tell you that there’s glittering stuff and where to find it and how to see it >~ [[Chiara Marletto]]
