Looking both ways | Learning with 'e's

I am often asked by my students what the best ways are to demonstrate critical thinking in their essays. The answer is quite simply to look both ways. Providing a balanced and objective argument where opposing perspectives are considered, is always a good foundation for criticality. But we can do much better than that. Critical analysis is where students can understand several ideas or theories, and can show how they are related. Critical evaluation is where they take the synthesis (coalescence) of these ideas and judge their collective and individual worth, in the context of the essay question.

Improving Working Memory: How the Science of Retention Can Enhance All Aspects of Learning - InformED

Improving Working Memory: How the Science of Retention Can Enhance All Aspects of Learning - InformED | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Do you really know something if you can’t remember it? I had a conversation with a fellow educator on this subject one semester, and we both came to the conclusion that knowledge relies almost exclusively on a student’s ability to remember what she has learned. Proof of knowledge comes from demonstration of knowledge; if you can’t recall a fact, then for all intents and purposes you never learned it. But where does that leave intelligence?

Linda Ann Fairclough's curator insight, February 18, 2014 9:33 AM

 Interesting take on that.I think then that MOST OF US have only learned what was necessary,interesting or easy.

 In some cases People learn without even trying to.

Where does IQ come into place?

What makes a teacher successful?

Having an expertise in reading, writing, math or science is necessary, but the ability to transfer that knowledge into another person is what makes an excellent instructor stand out. What good is it if a teacher has all the facts, but cannot communicate them in a way that others can comprehend?
