➢Until 1900 - knowledge doubles every 100 years

➢By 1945 - every 25 years

“Intellectual growth should commence

at birth and cease only at death.” (Albert Einstein)

Knowing is a process, not a product

*

“To instruct someone ... is not a matter of getting him to

commit results to mind. Rather, it is to teach him to

participate in the process that makes possible the

establishment of knowledge. We teach a subject not to

produce little living libraries on that subject, but rather to get

a student to think mathematically for himself, to consider

matters as an historian does, to take part in the process of

knowledge-getting. Knowing is a process not a product.”

(Bruner, 1966)

A Paradigm Shift

*

“The meaning of ‘knowing’ has shifted from being able to

remember and repeat information to being able to find and

use it.” (National Research Council, 2007)

*

“Whoever teaches, learns.”

Put learners in the role of teachers.

Help students to see the big picture
