In the academic world, students spend years accumulating knowledge. 34 However, a significantproblem often arises when they step out of the classroom. This phenomenon is often referred to as the
”knowledge-action gap.”
Why does this gap exist? 35 Textbooks often present idealized scenarios where problems have clear,
single solutions. The real world, conversely, is messy and ambiguous.
Another factor is the fear of failure. 36 Consequently, students may hesitate to apply what they
know, fearing that a wrong move will lead to negative consequences.
To bridge this gap, educators suggest a ”learning by doing” approach. 37 Through practice, abstract
theories become concrete skills.
Ultimately, knowledge without practice is like a tree without roots. 38 Only by combining deep
understanding with active application can students truly master their field.
