JP Rangaswami - Learning by doing, not by listening
I came across this video on J P Rangaswami’s blog Confused of Calcutta on a post about Musing about Learning by doing. Watching the video I was struck by a couple of things that JP raises.
- Learning is more about the questions you ask rather than the ones you can answer.
- Enlightened teachers will be asking students to write wikipedia articles rather than beign sniffy about them referring to it for their homework.
- Learning by doing is not about listening, it’s about sharing and feedback. Feedback is the area that always seem to rate most lowly on the student satisfaction surveys.
