autodidacts<\/a> who contribute in enormous ways to the life of the universe.<\/li>\nNo, being knowledgeable and being educated are not the same. Being knowledgeable has to do with facts. Education prepares you to do something with those facts.<\/li>\nFor me being educated is having had the opportunity to learn.\u00a0 Being knowledgeable is “owning” the learning.<\/li>\nNo.\u00a0 Educated means you learned it in a school setting or set out to actually learn something.\u00a0 Knowledgeable means to understand something.\u00a0 Doesn’t matter how.\u00a0 Could just be from experience.<\/li>\nI think this depends on the field and who you ask. Knowledgeable could apply to a trade; someone who is quite adept and skilled at their trade (i.e. plumbing) could be very knowledgeable but not be considered educated by academia. Of course said tradesman could turn out to be very “educated” in the traditional academic sense, too.<\/li>\nI think that there are book smart, but street dumb people. We learn so much from just existing. It is how we process that information that counts. We as educators must take background knowledge and basic connections between self and topic to assist in this process.<\/li>\nI would say yes and no. Many times I’ve had colleagues and students who were very educated, but when it came to common sense, they were lacking knowledge in that area.<\/li>\nNo – I think they are different…knowledgeable implies wisdom to me while educated is more limited to ‘schooled’<\/li>\nIn my opinion, being educated simply means having been taught something. Many people are knowledgeable without finishing school. They have been taught by others who have the knowledge.\u00a0 There are many places to become educated.<\/li>\nI don’t think so. Being educated to me implies receiving bits of knowledge, looking at it from all sides, looking for more information, and incorporating it.<\/li>\nNo, not as the words are commonly used. Being educated seems to imply a deliberate purposeful effort by the educator or student to acquire knowledge but, as you note in your introduction above, learning (knowledge) can and is acquired informally, haphazardly, spontaneously and other ways that do not require purposeful, directed, strategic education.<\/li>\nGreat question.\u00a0 I think you can be knowledgeable about a lot of things but not really have it amount to anything useful.<\/li>\nI think that being educated (today) means that you have the capacity to go out and create your own knowledge about new things. Being educated also needs to incorporate the ability to collaborate and communicate effectively.\u00a0 These are not things that are necessarily true if you are just “knowledgeable.”<\/li>\nI do not believe this is true.\u00a0 Like you, I am learning more and more each day as I connect to people around the world.\u00a0 You cannot put a price tag on this and currently this is not happening in schools to any large degree.<\/li>\nNot necessarily. I am knowledgeable about many more things than I have been educated about.\u00a0 I think, for me, knowledge seems to be more practical and pragmatic while education tends toward the theoretical and the philosophical.\u00a0 After almost 40 years of education and schooling myself, I do consider myself both knowledgeable and educated but maybe not in the same exact things.<\/li>\nYes and no. While I believe education builds a strong foundation and gives you the basics, having knowledge comes from hands on experience and interacting with others to improve and grow. We can learn from others, best demonstrated practices and new ideas that you don\u2019t always find in a classroom setting.<\/li>\nI think it depends on the way you define the word knowledgeable but I would say that no, they are not necessarily the same thing. In my opinion, you can be uneducated (in a traditional sense) and still be knowledgeable. I don\u2019t think you need to be traditionally educated on a topic to be knowledgeable about it. For example, I have never had an education about video games, but I am knowledgeable about the topic because of my experience with it.<\/li>\nI would say that there is a difference but not much. To become knowledgeable a person does not need traditional education, but isn\u2019t the gaining of knowledge the definition of education? There are many people in the world that I would consider knowledgeable that have not completed high school and\/or college. So knowledge can be gained with traditional education.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I have been doing a lot of reading in the past year, or so, on education, learning, schools and teaching.\u00a0 I believe I am on the verge of a paradigm shift in my thinking.\u00a0 The constructivist in me tells me this is part of the normal learning process that comes about from gathering new information and analyzing it from different points of view.\u00a0 You see the conflicts with your old knowledge structures and you need to rebuild them to accommodate…<\/p>\n
