ICT The 4 Pillars of Learning The four pillars of learning is basically a framework that provides a guide to equip to 21st century learners with the skills to meaningfully live in the changing complex, and interdependent world. The pillars are summarized by UNESCO (1996) as follows: LEARNING TO KNOW: (Development of the Head: Knowledge) this may be related to learning how to learn or related to Chinese proverb “Give a man a fish, you have fed him for today. Teach a man how to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime.” As a means, students have to learn to understand the word around them and as an end, they should ultimately obtain the joy the benefits of knowing. As a type of learning, this pillar demands all teachers to teach and provide opportunities for the students to master the instruments of knowing and understanding such as a) to learn and to discover; b) to understand about his/her environment; c) to think in a coherent and critical way; d) to acquire knowledge of the scientific methods and instruments; e) to develop a scientific spirit and an inquiring mind; and f) to acquire independence of judgement. LEARNING TO DO (Development of the Hand; Skills and Action): this requires a person to act appropriately in any kind of situation, or he or she must become involved in shaping the future. Learning to do implies that students learn best when they do and apply what they know. This is related to what Confucius has remarked: I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand. Moreover, learning under this pillar does not only mean preparing the students for work, but it must also transfer these skills certified by schools into personal competence throughout life. LEARNING TO BE (Development of the Heart: Awareness and Understanding): as a pillar of learning, learning to be definer to development of the following competencies: a) development of the mind and body, intelligence, sensitivity, aesthetic sense, personal responsibility and spiritual values; b) development of the qualities of imagination and creativity; c) complete fulfillment of man, in all the richness of his responsibility; and d) full flavory of human potential or tapping of the hidden treasure within the each individual. LEARNING TO LIVE TOGETHER (Development of Values and Attitudes): learning to live together is the ultimate goal of the study of Social Dimension of Education, and it is the greatest challenge among all the pillars of learning. This requires developing a learning and caring society, characterized by an understanding of other people and appreciation of interdependence and differences. It implies that it is no longer sufficient to make education a personal or individual pursuit but an obligation to live in unity and harmony with one another, with the nation, and the global environment.
