Learning EnvironmentsI really enjoyed this week's readings. While I have done quite a bit of work studying and reflecting on the learning environments this seemed to take a new approached. Our text mentions that books and education are often built to provide a substitute for thinking instead of a method of thinking. Perhaps, because we live in a society that privileges performance and it is easier to move students along a path than to evaluate abstract thinking or correct misconceptions. Yet, I think that we should get our students thinking and asking questions to get them ready to face the challenges that lie ahead. References: Bransford, J., Brown, A., & Cocking, R. (2000).
