  1. study

    Education (Latin educere, to lead or draw out) is the systematic development and cultivation of the mind and other natural powers. "Education is the harmonious development of all our faculties. It begins in the nursery, and goes on at school, but does not end there. It continues through life, whether we will or not.... 'Every person,' says Gibbon, 'has two educations, one which he receives from others, and one more important, which he gives himself.'" John Lubbock The Use of Life ch. vii, p. 111. [Macmillan & Co. '94.] Instruction, the impartation of knowledge by others (Latin instruere, to build in or into) is but a part of education, often the smallest part. Teaching is the more familiar and less formal word for instruction. Training refers not merely to the impartation of knowledge, but to the exercising of one in actions with the design to form habits. Discipline is systematic and rigorous training, with the idea of subjection to authority and perhaps of punishment. Tuition is the technical term for teaching as the business of an instructor or as in the routine of a school; tuition is narrower than teaching, not, like the latter word, including training. Study is emphatically what one does for himself. We speak of the teaching, training, or discipline, but not of the education or tuition of a dog or a horse. Breeding and nurture include teaching and training, especially as directed by and dependent upon home life and personal association; breeding having reference largely to manners with such qualities as are deemed distinctively characteristic of high birth; nurture (literally nourishing) having more direct reference to moral qualities, not overlooking the physical and mental. Knowledge and learning tell nothing of mental development apart from the capacity to acquire and remember, and nothing whatever of that moral development which is included in education in its fullest and noblest sense; learning, too, may be acquired by one's unaided industry, but any full education must be the result in great part of instruction, training, and personal association. Study is emphatically what one does for himself, and in which instruction and tuition can only point the way, encourage the student to advance, and remove obstacles; vigorous, persevering study is one of the best elements of training. Study is also used in the sense of the thing studied, a subject to be mastered by study, a studious pursuit. Compare KNOWLEDGE; REFINEMENT; WISDOM.

How to use study in a sentence?

  1. Liviu Matei:

    We bring students from 100 more countries around the world to Hungary and we train Hungarian young people who otherwise would go study abroad – we are playing a positive function by keeping our kids at home instead of going abroad, this legislation is meant to make the operations of CEU in Hungary very difficult – if not impossible.

  2. James Naismith:

    The study is rigorous but it is early( thus might change a bit with more data and more studies will report in the weeks ahead). It should be noted that some South African scientists have been saying Omicron was milder for some time, although two thirds reduction is significant, Omicron can cause severe illness in the doubly vaccinated. Thus, if Omicron continues to double every few days, it could generate many more hospitalisations than Delta from the double vaccinated population.

  3. Christopher Gardner:

    They had keto delivered to their house. They had a health educator help them, yet boom ! Most people quit following the keto diet almost immediately( when that portion of the study ended), while many of those on The Mediterranean diet were still eating that way when the study was over.

  4. Zhang Hao of Tianjin University:

    At this time, the U.S. government holds a pervasive, unfair view of ethnic Chinese academics and engineers, always looking at us with the attitude of 'guarding against thieves', they believe that coming to the U.S. to study abroad or engage in scientific research is tantamount to wanting to steal U.S. technology. This is absurd.

  5. Jose Montoya:

    For decades, the ‘case vs. healthy controls’ study design has served well to advance our understanding of many diseases, however, it’s possible that for certain pathologies in humans, analysis by diseaseseverity or duration would be likely to provide further insights.
