Design education provides an ambiance for the creation of knowledge, unlike any other discipline. It also provides experience itself as the ground on which learning is conducted again unlike all other disciples who are purely book-oriented.
The three sins of modern education are that it replaces the real content with its description (WORLD is replaced with the WORD), By providing readymade knowledge it kills our natural ability to create knowledge (KNOWN displaces the UNKNOWN as the cognitive condition), and teaching takes away the development of natural learning process.
All living beings are cognitive beings. Learning is the basis of life. Only the modern man teaches! Everything else learns because learning is the nature of living. Whatever has been natural to children is being taken away from them. Playing, sharing, loving, making toys, exploring their surroundings, exposure to nature and natural processes, etc. After cordoning off children from the world we are attempting to teach them the word. Their creativity, natural curiosity toward existential questions, and cognitive process are damaged and distorted in this process.
