Brain Calisthenics Help Break Down Abstract Ideas, Researchers Say - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • For years school curriculums have emphasized top-down instruction, especially for topics like math and science. Learn the rules first — the theorems, the order of operations, Newton’s laws — then make a run at the problem list at the end of the chapter. Yet recent research has found that true experts have something at least as valuable as a mastery of the rules: gut instinct, an instantaneous grasp of the type of problem they’re up against. Like the ballplayer who can “read” pitches early, or the chess master who “sees” the best move, they’ve developed a great eye.
  • Now, a small group of cognitive scientists is arguing that schools and students could take far more advantage of this same bottom-up ability, called perceptual learning

A love of learning - Boston.com - 0 views

  •  
    A small, independent K-6 school in Massachusetts focuses on collaborative learning with students working at group tables rather than desks, and teachers acting as facilitators rather than lecturers. There is no homework at Anova, the Massachusetts School for Science, Creativity and Leadership, where there are rules against repetition and busywork. "We're about progressive education," said Courtney Dickinson, the school's founder.

  • our optimism for making as a way to learn
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • how can events like Maker Faire shift how we think about schools
  • We imagine schools can become places where students learn to identify their own challenges, solve new problems, motivate themselves to complete a project, work together, inspire others, and give advice and guidance to others
  • partnering to help more kids create projects for Maker Faire as a way to fuel kids' intrinsic motivations in science, math, and engineering
