Re: [Phys-l] active learning needs a theory



Hi Jack:

You are right, I was speaking about having MORE active learning. Namely,
the question is not whether students are able to learn. As humans they
must do it in order to live. The question is how can they do it more
active way (the goal is self-regulated learning)..

Physics is a perfect context to improve personal learning management which
is today badly needed job skill.

Best wishes

Hi Jack:

To have better human procreation a scientific theory of it is needed.

We know that teaching promoting students' "interactive engagement" is
better for students' conceptual learning than "traditional teaching".
Nevertheless, we cann't fortell for which particular student it works and
why for this one yes and for the other not.
Unless we start to look closely to the complex process of physics
learning, we will be unable to rise actual efficacy of "interactive
engagement".

Hi all-
By Josip's reasoning, human procreation could never have gotten
started.

Hi all:

In order to have more "active learning" in and out of classroom, both
teachers and students need to know more about its theoretical basis. Even
the term "active learning" is a little bit problematic. Every learning,
even bad one, implies some kind of activity on the side of the learner.

It seems to me that a good place to start is to look at "self-regulated
learning" and what its main advocates, like Barry Zimmerman and Paul
Pinthrich, said about it.

Hoping this can help, I send my best wishes
