Sleignt's Assertions Regarding Education And Thesis

¶ … Sleignt's Assertions Regarding Education and Training.

Sleight asserts that "training is different from education."

What is your response to this statement?

Sleight argues that training is different from education by saying that training teachers a person to perform a specific task while education involved teaching others a more general instruction in history and knowledge. At first, this statement strikes me as untrue as I think of my educational experiences in which I have learned a specific task, especially quantitative tasks such as performing a certain type of math technique. After reading Sleight, however, I understand how different training is from education. Education requires prerequisites that training does not such as the desire to learn comprehensive facts and histories and how to apply them. Training does not require a need to analyze or apply, or even read and write, but rather just a need to view and copy, and at times transfer, as is needed in classroom training. .

2. Does this distinction make sense to you?

The distinction between training and education makes sense in that education is much more comprehensive than training. Education exposes students to a wealth of knowledge and history about a subject and asks students to view the subject in terms of society, training is more concerned with an employee performing a certain task adequately. Even though it is not education, several kinds of training have been used and continue to be used as technology develops. on-the-job training, classroom training, and systemic training are all methods of training. Because training does not require the extensive cognitive abilities that education requires, some fear that expert mechanical systems will be used to replace humans, though Sleight argues that an extensive reliance on this technology will decrease company competence.

3. Why or why not?

I understand this distinction because of the goals that education and training try to accomplish. Education has the goal of producing responsible members of society that can function in a career, while training is simply responsible for company economics. Although it can be manifested in a variety of methods, one can observe that the goal of training is simply adequate completion of a task. Education, however will generally ask students to apply their knowledge to a larger scheme. Thus, the difference between education and training is made clear by the differences in goals.
