Many people confuse education and training, but they are not the same thing. Education is
knowledge-based and is defined as a body of academic knowledge that is most often learned in a
classroom setting. Training is coaching to become proficient in particular behaviors or actions.
Sometimes the two are confused because many training experiences, like a police academy, often
involve many hours of classroom instruction. Such institutions combine elements of education and
training, but the differences between the two remain. Knowledge is theoretical. Using a law enforcement
example, you can study the laws of arrest without ever having to arrest anyone, but you need to be
trained in handcuffing techniques if you will be expected to actually take someone into custody.
Similarly, you can study laws and court cases pertaining to deadly physical force without ever having to
fire a weapon. Training, on the other hand, is skills-based. It covers what you need to do, as much as
what you need to know, in order to perform a task or group of tasks. Learning when or why is not the
same as learning how.
【題組】19. Based on the passage, the activity most likely to be defined as education is
(A) learning how to drive. (B) learning the firearms laws.
(C) learning handcuffing techniques. (D) studying for the police entrance exam.
