Sixth sense currently being taught? (9)

I believe the answer is:
intuition
'sixth sense' is the definition.
(both can mean an unconscious instinct)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for intuition that I've seen before include "Unconscious understanding" , "women are known for it" , "Innate understanding" , "an instinctive thing" , "Instinct" .)
