Education and Development

Roles: teacher, student, curriculum, skill, potential, growth, assessment

The domain of intentional human development — teaching, training, mentoring, and the acquisition of capabilities over time. As a target domain, education and development draws heavily on agricultural metaphors (cultivating minds, planting seeds, harvesting results) and construction metaphors (building knowledge, laying foundations). The frame foregrounds the gap between instruction and learning, the role of the learner’s own agency, and the long time horizons over which development becomes visible.
