I get fired up when I read articles like this...they validated my belief that our focus as educators should be to teach our students how to learn rather than to fill them with information. jf

"The researchers' conclusion was that, in the context of strange toys of unknown function, prior explanation does, indeed, inhibit exploration and discovery." I'm looking forward to talking about this on Saturday. Is it appropriate sometimes to limit exploration & discovery? Or is exploration & discovery the default method of a critical skills classroom?

Interested in your discussion results, Tom. My gut feeling is that pure discovery learning is inefficient, can promote frustration which can lead to loss of interest, and possible misconceptions. Isn't coaching and guided discovery a way of teaching the process of problem solving?
