The Action Learning Formula:

Learning (L) occurs through Programmed Knowledge (P) or traditional instruction, and

Insightful Questioning (Q)

www.schoolofeducators.com

Learning To Learn

? Is teaching more than the conveying knowledge?

? Can teachers teach anybody anything?

? What is the difference between knowledge and knowing?

Recommendations

– Learning is not passive.

– Learn what the problems are.

– Recognize that learning is your problem (opportunity).

How ?

www.schoolofeducators.com

Learning To Learn(Article by Smith)

? Is it okay to make mistakes?

? Is competence really being able to solve problems w/o hesitation?

? What reactions do you expect if you tell a teacher (a friend) that you do not understand something?

Recommendations:– Learn to ask

questions. If you have a question, you can be certain that many others have the same question.

– True competence does not mean not making errors. It means well thought out judgment and decisions based on available information and experience.
