Education

Roles: teacher, student, curriculum, lesson, examination, grade, graduation, discipline, understanding

Structured transmission of knowledge from those who have it to those who do not. The frame encompasses pedagogy (how to teach), curriculum (what to teach), assessment (whether it was learned), and the social hierarchy of teacher and student. As a source domain, education imports strong assumptions about intentionality (the teacher designs the learning experience), comprehension (the student understands, not merely memorizes), and progression (learning advances through stages toward mastery). These assumptions make it a powerful but misleading frame when applied to processes that lack intentionality or understanding.
