Know, What’s the importance of epistemology in education?, and Why?, epistemology helps students understand the fields, subjects or topics better, and also allows them to be aware of themselves, about how and what they think and why they think that way.
Schools have to prepare first their teachers, because students are immerse in technology, this doesn’t mean they know how to use it properly, this is one of the main reasons and goals of education, make them aware how to use them.
There’s something really important that as teachers need to pay attention, the implications we have is that the information and knowledge we attempt to transmit to our students in the classroom is not fixed but is constantly subjected to critical evaluation, means teach our students to be aware of what and how they learn, help them and conduct them into a critical learning in a critical environment.
These kinds of environments can help us nurture, discuss points of views and comments, these are just some examples of how we can work together everywhere, anywhere with everyone.
