The Global Search for Education: Knowledge in the Age of AI

By C. M. Rubin

The Trivium and Quadrivium, medieval revival of classical Greek education theories, defined the seven liberal arts necessary as preparation for entering higher education: grammar, logic, rhetoric, astronomy, geometry, arithmetic, and music. Even today, the education disciplines identified since Greek times are still reflected in many education systems. Then came the Information Age, bringing with it Big Data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence as well as visualization techniques. All this technology dramatically increased the amount of knowledge we could access and the speed at which we could generate answers to our questions. C.M. Rubin, Founder of CMRubinWorld, asked Charles Fadel, Founder of the Center for Curriculum Redesign, how much of the data kids are being forced to memorize is actually relevant.

“New and more innovative knowledge maps are now needed to help us navigate the complexities of our expanding landscape of knowledge,” says Charles Fadel. He stresses that “Understanding the interrelatedness of knowledge areas will help to uncover a logical and effective progression for learning that achieves deep understanding.”

Charles Fadel is the founder of the Center for Curriculum Redesign, which has been producing new knowledge maps that redesign knowledge standards from the ground up.
