Explicit knowledge

confidence in their face when they explain a concept that is truly relevant to their understanding of the world around them? Inquiry-based teaching allows the student to ask questions relevant to their interest and helps fuel their desire to gain knowledge to answer those questions. According to Sweetland and Towns (2008), “When teachers choose to use an inquiry-based approach, they commit to provide rich experiences that provoke students’ thinking and curiosity; to plan carefully-constructed…

Having Jack as the narrator in the novel Room brings a juvenile point of view to the text that is avant-garde. Meaning that his point of view is innovative. It can be seen as controversial, where he is restricted as an observer, because his mind is not fully developed yet, and he is still learning. One might confuse this as unreliable. But the fact that Jack is an inexperienced individual in his setting, it is the tension in this that makes both him as the narrator and the story more compelling.…

In the section of the Phaedo we read, Socrates argues that one has knowledge of the form absolute equality prior to birth, and that learning is a “recovering of knowledge which is natural to us” (40).

Looking back I was a much kinder and warm hearted child but for good reason. My mother taught me to be kind because she was never taught anything else by her mother. This is where education is biased because she is only teaching me off of her own knowledge. I have always been praised for being kind not only from my family, but from my girlfriend and from friends as well. Sadly only two out of those categories of people know what I have been through in my life. My family, mostly my parents never…

A learner-centred curriculum may allow students to decide the learning objectives, learning methods and pace of their own learning; assessment is usually formative or from self-evaluation; teachers are there to facilitate learning rather than to transmit knowledge (Ross 2000; Harden 1984). Ross (2000) gives further detail on a…
