The ‘core knowledge of the subject’

From a learning perspective, the concept of the core knowledge of the subject has nothing to do with knowledge – even though course catalogues and many lecturers use the word in that sense.

The ‘core knowledge of the subject’ is, in fact, nothing but a collection of fields within a subject defined as central by experts. The ‘core knowledge of the subject’ is not individually processed information – the definition of knowledge used here.
