I have also found that people dislike even more when someone else publically acknowledges their falsehood. This was the case back in 399 BC when Greek philosopher, Socrates, sought to find the truth of things and was charged, convicted, and sentenced to death. Because Socrates never committed anything to paper, the only glimpse we have to his life is through the writing of others,…

The lesson that I have taught before was an application of using proportions as an application for Algebra 1 and as an introduction to the lesson of similarity of polygons for Geometry. The objective of the lesson was to use ratios to find your height. First, I give my height, and the students measure my shadow with a yard, using inches as units. Then, the students measure the shadow of their partner. Then, the students use my height, my shadow, and their shadow to find out how tall are they…

Vygotsky’s ideas about providing students with scaffolding that builds knowledge, building those structure properly means knowledge can be transferred and explored by students. Bruner mentioned “…education is not to impart knowledge, but instead to facilitate a child 's thinking and problem solving skills” (1961, cited in McLeod, 2012a). This process of facilitating a child’s thinking and problem solving…

of wide-ranging style that aimed at the passage of the communication, knowledge, values, and attitudes from one individual to another. The transmission of knowledge is based on perception, mainly through speaking and writing. The general tradition assumes that the teacher is the source of knowledge and the student, a simple unlimited receiver of the same. Under this concept, the process of teaching is the transmission of knowledge, a way to communicate from teacher to student, through various…

Through a range of activities such as: checking current knowledge, self-testing, asking questions, revising and reflecting children will be able to boost their metacognitive skills and strategies in order to assist them to reach their highest level of learning. Children can then use their knowledge and problem-solving abilities in everyday life, for example making rules for a game. From practice this was observed when ____________…

Knowledge is clearly defined as acts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education. A person who has received a quality education at an institution of higher learning will have a sizable advantage over someone who chose to limit their education to a high school level. In Writing About Writing we are given a clear example of two children who received an education and used that knowledge to escape all worldly issues and display their thoughts and intelligence…

Throughout the chapters of the book, Just Listen by Mark Goulston, there were many points that I agreed with and related to, as well as a couple of other points in which I didn’t…

In essence, a schema is a building block of behaviour that organises information and knowledge. The schema is used to perceive new information and build upon existing knowledge. In regards to a school setting, the schema can be used as a tool for progression. The teacher can try to understand the child’s existing schema and knowledge through assessment, to then teach something new or correct the existing knowledge (schema). This can be seen as constructive, as previous schemata are being built…

Plato puts the reader/viewer as the person who knows nothing at all, to the person who is experiencing a discovery between…
