If our goal is Education for Knowing, as the title says, then we
need to be guided by a conception of what knowing is. For example,
we can all agree that there are "math facts" that students need to
learn, and we can agree that there are general concepts and laws
that students should be acquainted with. But is there more
involved, perhaps something like nurturing in students a desire to
probe deeper into the workings of thing? Or developing a capacity
to explain why things work the way they do? Our conceptions of what
genuine knowing is serve as guides to what we think the goal of
education is, and they tell us how to "build a student." However,
as it turns out, there are multiple conceptions of what knowing
truly involves, and these conceptions tend to be different for
different sets of education stakeholders such as parents and their
children, school administrators, and educational researchers.
Understanding this diversity of conceptions of knowing will make it
easier for representatives of the different stakeholder groups to
work together to accomplish the goal of building knowing students.
