[Phys-l] Principle of prerequisites



Here's "Khan Academy":

http://www.khanacademy.org/


The most important message of the video can probably be described as follows: do not move to more advanced topics before being sure that less advanced topics have been learned by students, at least partially. Call this the POP (Principle Of Prerequisites).

In my opinion, learning SHOULD and CAN BE pleasurable. How can this be achieved? By rigorously applying POP. Unfortunately, students are often deprived of the pleasure of learning by grade inflation.

Please forward this message to teachers you know.
