Education is the process of facilitating
learning, or the acquisition of
knowledge,
skills,
values,
beliefs, and
habits. Educational methods include
storytelling,
discussion,
teaching,
training, and directed
research. Education frequently takes place under the guidance of educators, but learners may also
educate themselves. Education can take place in
formal or
informal settings and any
experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational. The methodology of teaching is called
pedagogy.
