Show me, and I remember
Involve me, and I understand.
I believe there is a lot of substance and truth in this statement. As a teacher, it is vital to teach to all learner styles. Being able to teach to a variety of learner styles is beneficial to the teacher and the students. Allowing students to manipulate objects and make connections will allow students to remember concepts better. This article discusses many suggestions for teachers to better their teaching abilities. One of these suggestions is to understand and use students' prior knowledge. As we discusses in class, it is extremely important for teachers to understand students' prior knowledge so they can aid the students to add to their previous knowledge. As discusses in previous articles, I think it is vital for students' to build connections with their schema and develop new and more complex understandings. On the retention scale provided by the article, it displays that students learn best when they have direct and purposeful experiences. This can be very useful when teaching science education because students are able to practice experiments and learn why things work the way they do.
