NOTE

Modeling Virtues and Intellectual Aspirations

Modeling virtues and intellectual aspirations to students involves participatory knowing, aspiring to a certain kind of self and rationality that requires actual transformation. Real transformative experiences cannot be inferred as they lead to a different identity and values. It is essential to model aspiration and non-propositional knowing to students, focusing on wisdom, skills, virtues, and character traits, rather than just presenting semantic information. Educators play a pivotal role as role models in shaping students' thinking, caring, and identity formation, impacting their lives significantly. Being sages on stage, embodying virtues and aspirations, is crucial to offering an education that is irreplaceable by machines, contingent on society's threshold choices.
