What is the difference between education and Education?

Answer 1

The term "education" is used in ordinary language to name the process in which someone teaches and someone studies something in order to learn something (i.e. the process of guided study). The term "education" is also used to name knowledge about the educational process. Knowledge about the educational process is true statements about education or warranted assertions about education. This second sense of education (i.e. Education) is intended in titles such as College of Education, Department of Education and MEd (Masters of Education). An example of education in the sense of guided study is a mother showing her small son how to tie his shoelaces and him practicing until he can tie his shoelaces by himself. The teacher is the mother. The student is the child. The something being taught and studied is the skill of shoelace tying. An example of Education (in the sense of knowledge about guided study) is the true statement, "The compulsory school attendance age in Australia is from ages 5 to 16." A synonym for "Education" is "educology" (the fund of knowledge about the educational process).
