[잡학잡식] 교육의 목적은 사고하는 방법을 훈련하는 것이다 _ 아인슈타인

교육의 목적은 사고하는 방법을 훈련하는 것이다 

  

(* 아인슈타인은 1921년 뉴욕타임즈 인터뷰 중에 음속에 대한 질문을 받고 이렇게 대답했다.)

나는 그런 정보를 내 머릿속에 담고 다니지 않아요.
그런 건 책에 다 나와있으니까요.
교육의 가치는
많은 정보를 기억하도록 하는 것이 아니라
사고하는 방법을 훈련하는 데 있는 것입니다.

[I do not] carry such information in my mind since it is readily available in books… The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think.

Legendary theoretical physicist Albert Einstein’s response when asked if he knew the speed of sound during an interview with a reporter for the New York Times, May 18, 1921. Variants of this quotation, all attributed to Einstein are: “I never commit to memory anything that can easily be looked up in a book” and “Never memorize what you can look up in books.” If he were alive today, Einstein would surely say, “I do not carry such information in my mind since I can simply Google it.” The second sentence, about the value of a college education, is even more relevant today that it was in the 20th century because of the impact of the internet on learning.
