The Subject is Cheese
In the beginning of module 2, under the heading, "Learning Chains," there is a discussion on the principle of natural cheese versus artificial cheese. Would someone be kind enough to explain to me what the author is trying to say here? And how is this related to questioning and concept-principle learning? I have read and re-read this, and each time the disconnect becomes even greater. Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Hi Tom, Thanks for your post to the forum.The "Cheese Thing" basically demonstrates how in teaching a concept we give all the information related to the concept ( the learning chain). Then the student will be able to look at new information and compare it to what they have learned about a specific concept and make a decision about whether the new information they are viewing "fits" a concept they have learned about. Hope that helps!
