Le Réseau des traducteurs et traductrices en éducation souhaite établir les distinctions suivantes. Les termes «enseignement», «instruction» et «scolarisation» désignent l'action de transmettre des connaissances et le terme «études», l'action de chercher à acquérir des connaissances. Les termes «éducation», «instruction» et «scolarité» correspondent plutôt au résultat, c'est-à-dire la formation acquise. Le Réseau considère le terme «éducation» comme un générique parce que celui-ci concerne toutes les dimensions de la personne alors que l'instruction et l'enseignement, qui en font partie, désignent uniquement le savoir. 2, record 2, French, - %C3%A9ducation
