A skill is the learned ability to perform an action with determined results with good execution often within a given amount of time, energy, or both.

Skills can often be divided into domain-general and domain-specific skills.

For example, in the domain of work, some general skills would include time management, teamwork and leadership, self-motivation and others, whereas domain-specific skills would be used only for a certain job.

Skill usually requires certain environmental stimuli and situations to assess the level of skill being shown and used.

Education is a purposeful activity directed at achieving certain aims, such as transmitting knowledge or fostering skills and character traits.

These aims may include the development of understanding, rationality, kindness, and honesty.

Various researchers emphasize the role of critical thinking in order to distinguish education from indoctrination.

Some theorists require that education results in an improvement of the student while others prefer a value-neutral definition of the term.

In a slightly different sense, education may also refer, not to the process, but to the product of this process: the mental states and dispositions possessed by educated people.

Education originated as the transmission of cultural heritage from one generation to the next.

Today, educational goals increasingly encompass new ideas such as the liberation of learners, skills needed for modern society, empathy, and complex vocational skills.

Experience refers to conscious events in general, more specifically to perceptions, or to the practical knowledge and familiarity that is produced by these conscious processes.

Understood as a conscious event in the widest sense, experience involves a subject to which various items are presented.

In this sense, seeing a yellow bird on a branch presents the subject with the objects "bird" and "branch", the relation between them and the property "yellow".

Unreal items may be included as well, which happens when experiencing hallucinations or dreams.

When understood in a more restricted sense, only sensory consciousness counts as experience.

In this sense, experience is usually identified with perception and contrasted with other types of conscious events, like thinking or imagining.

In a slightly different sense, experience refers not to the conscious events themselves but to the practical knowledge and familiarity they produce.

In this sense, it is important that direct perceptual contact with the external world is the source of knowledge.

So an experienced hiker is someone who actually lived through many hikes, not someone who merely read many books about hiking.

This is associated both with recurrent past acquaintance and the abilities learned through them.

Reality is the sum or aggregate of all that is real or existent within a system, as opposed to that which is only imaginary.

The term is also used to refer to the ontological status of things, indicating their existence.

In physical terms, reality is the totality of a system, known and unknown.

Philosophical questions about the nature of reality or existence or being are considered under the rubric of ontology, which is a major branch of metaphysics in the Western philosophical tradition.

Ontological questions also feature in diverse branches of philosophy, including the philosophy of science, philosophy of religion, philosophy of mathematics, and philosophical logic.

These include questions about whether only physical objects are real (i.e., physicalism), whether reality is fundamentally immaterial (e.g., idealism), whether hypothetical unobservable entities posited by scientific theories exist, whether God exists, whether numbers and other abstract objects exist, and whether possible worlds exist.

Pragmatism is a philosophical tradition that considers words and thought as tools and instruments for prediction, problem solving, and action, and rejects the idea that the function of thought is to describe, represent, or mirror reality.

Pragmatists contend that most philosophical topics—such as the nature of knowledge, language, concepts, meaning, belief, and science—are all best viewed in terms of their practical uses and successes.
