daily blog #61 Will we learn faster if we are told the "best" way to do something? We may. But will we learn better? Learning better entails not just the speed of absorption, but also the retention of knowledge. How long will you remember it? "Being told" burns the process of thinking and trying, which is fundamental to knowledge mastery. Telling a student "the right way" to do something without giving them a chance to use their brain and try, in most cases, is a lazy teaching method.
Great one on what education should be! Thanks for your thoughts
