Educational Principle #1
Definition of Learning
Learning is viewed here as developing a way of thinking and acting that is characteristic of an expert community. Such a way of thinking consists of three important elements: 1. the knowledge that represents phenomena in the subject domain 2. the thinking activities that construe, modify and use this knowledge to interpret situations in that domain
Memory
1. the knowledge that represents phenomena in the subject domain
Its only when your memory is engaged in the learning process that your brain is really challenged
