    Is "a little knowledge" really a dangerous thing?

In what context? This seems too broad for anyone to answer.

Knowledge is generally good, even when not benign, but there are cases when it's emphatically not.

    And if so, how can we encourage people to explore new avenues of learning without falling into the trap of knowing just enough to get themselves in trouble?

By teaching them enough that they learn how to get out of trouble, too.
