WHILE WE WERE FIGURING OUT HOW TO MAKE THINGS BETTER, WHAT HAS

HAPPENED IN OUR CLASSROOMS?

“Klaus found he had little interest in books. The gears in Violet’s

inventive brain seemed to stop. And even Sunny, who of course

was too young to really understand what was going on, bit

things with less enthusiasm.” Lemony Snicket,

“The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.”

Henry David Thoreau From BrainyQuote.com

Albert Bandura’s research, 1971:

“…virtually all learning phenomena resulting from direct

experiences can occur on a vicarious basis through observation

of other people’s behavior as its consequences….”

HOWEVER

“…new patterns of behavior can be acquired through direct

experiences….”

WHICH CAN BE ALTERED OR INFLUENCED BY

“reinforcement” regarding “the relationship between one’s

actions and their outcomes”

From Bandura’s Social Learning Theory, 1977, pp. 305-16. http://www.jku.at/org/content/e54521/e54528/e54529/e178059/Bandura_SocialLearn

In my youth, I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course

became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for

themselves, and became richer.

Benjamin Franklin

Let us not forget that teachers teach kids. And kids need to EXPERIENCE learning first-hand to

continue to develop their schema and decision-making skills.

But it is never a replacement for the rich breadth of knowledge and experience you can provide in your classroom.

If it’s too easy, they will never feed themselves.
