"You can tell students what they need to know very fast. But they will forget what you tell them even faster..." Mel Silberman (1996). Active Learning:101Strategiesto TeachAnySubject
Chickering & Gamson, 1987 “Learning is not a spectator sport. Students do not learn much just by sitting in class listening to teachers, memorizing prepackaged assignments, and spitting out answers. They must talk about what they are learning, write about it, relate it to past experiences, apply it to their daily lives. They must make what they learn part of themselves.”
Confucius... • What I hear, I forget. • What I see, I remember. • What I do, I understand
Silberman… • What I hear, I forget. • What I hear and see, I remember a little. • What I hear, see, and ask questions about or discuss with someone else, I begin to understand. • What I hear, see, discuss and do, I acquire knowledge and skill. • What I teach to another, I master.
John Holt (1967) • Learning is Enhanced When Students: • State information in their own words. • Give examples of it. • Recognize it in various circumstances. • See connections between it and other facts or ideas. • Make use of it in various ways. • Foresee some of its consequences. • State its opposite or converse.
