Education. The process and/or product of facilitating one's acquisition of KSAs.
Development domain. One of three domains that group educational objectives according to their bases: (a) cognitive domain for development of knowledge, (b) affective domain for development of emotions, and psychomotor domain for development of actions.

Educational Methods

Main wikipage: Educational Methods; video (0:00)
Educational method. An established procedure for one's education. These procedures can be grouped in several categories: narrated teaching, practical instruction, cognitive research, experiential learning, or some combination of those.
Narrated teaching. Any educational method that is based on some narration such as lecturing, storytelling, or demonstrating.
Practical instruction. Any educational method that is based on prescribed practical exercises related to the subject of learning.
Cognitive research. Any educational method that is based on experience that requires cognitive analysis, synthesis, and/or evaluation of the subject of learning.
Experiential learning (learning by doing, learning through play). Any educational method that is based on both direct experience and cognitive reflection on that experience. Those methods may include a wide range of techniques from observations to experiments and heuristic techniques, but the following consideration of what was observed and what can be learned is the key. That methodology may also be defined as learning through reflection on doing.

Learning Environments

Main wikipage: Learning Environments; video (0:00)
Educational format. The layout of one's education. This layout include organization of roles, functions, technology, and other arrangements for the educational process.
Learning tool. Any tool helpful in learning. Those tools may include (a) printed materials such as books, textbooks, handouts, articles, study guides, technical documentation; (b) audio materials such as audio files, collections, or natural experiences; (c) graphic materials such as illustrations, charts, real objects, photographs; (d) audiovisual materials such as video files, collections, natural and/or multimedia experiences; (e) special software such as learning management systems, MOOCs, collaborative knowledge systems, learning games, etc.
Learning arrangement. A particular way in which learning tools, educational formats, educational methods, elicitation and other techniques are put together in order to facilitate one's learning. The arrangements may include learning games, competitions, role plays, simulations, field trips, and other settings arranged to stimulate one's observations and direct experiences.

Educational Credentials

Main wikipage: Educational Credentials; video (0:00)
Educational credential. A credential that confirms one's education. Some educational institutions offer educational programs especially in creative arts and the medical field that combine credentialing of academic achievements and professional experience.
Academic credential. An educational credential that is issued by an educational institution or credentialing organization to certify specific academic achievements traditionally related to someone's knowledge.
  • High school diploma. An academic credential that certifies that someone has been graduated from a high school.
  • GED (General Equivalency Diploma). A credential that certifies that someone has successfully passed the test that covers United States or Canadian high school-level academic skills.
  • Diploma. A certificate or deed issued by an educational institution, such as college or university, that testifies that the recipient has successfully completed a particular course of study.
  • Associate degree (or associate's degree). An undergraduate academic degree awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study intended to usually last two years or more.
  • Bachelor's degree. An undergraduate academic degree awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting three to seven years depending on institution and academic discipline.
  • Master's degree. A graduate academic degree awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting one to three years beyond the coursework required by a Bachelor's degree.
  • PhD (Doctor of Philosophy, also known as PhD degree or Ph.D.). The highest, terminal academic degree awarded by universities in most countries. The requirements to earn a PhD regularly include comprehensive examinations and work on thesis or dissertation based on extensive research.
  • Professional degree. A degree that prepares someone to work in a particular profession, often meeting the academic requirements for licensure or accreditation.
  • Credentialism (academic inflation). The process of the devaluation of educational qualifications because of the needs of educational institutions to increase revenues and cut expenses, on one side, and increasing demands, on the other side. This process further provokes credential creep.

Educational institution. An enterprise, usually an organization or its constituent part, that exists in order to provide the public with education.
Workforce developer. Any entity in the business of workforce development.
