Learning through ignorance
- Teaching philosophy of ignorance
Description
Learning through ignorance is a strategy that actively acknowledges gaps in knowledge as starting points for inquiry and problem-solving. By openly identifying and exploring what is not known, individuals and groups can challenge assumptions, foster curiosity, and stimulate innovative thinking. This approach remedies stagnation and error by encouraging continuous questioning, adaptive learning, and the pursuit of new information, ultimately leading to more effective solutions and informed decision-making in complex or uncertain situations.
Claim
The terrain of ignorance is the domain of education.
Never presume that you know the needs or knowledge of people. Ask them what these needs are and what type of help they want.
He who is unaware of his ignorance will be only misled by his knowledge.
Counter-claim
Our ignorance is not so vast as our failure to use what we know.
