Hi all, I just stumbled across this fascinating article called "When teaching restrains discovery" (http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/notrocketscience/2011/01/18/when-teaching-restrains-discovery/) which is based on a very recently published paper whose title really says it all "The double-edged sword of pedagogy: Instruction limits spontaneous exploration and discovery" (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6T24-51WV6VK-1&_user=10&_coverDate=01/08/2011&_rdoc=1&_fmt=high&_orig=search&_origin=search&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=b3319a977badfb35348871b64a9e1d4c&searchtype=a).
Definitely well worth a read in my opinion. :-) Cheers, Christoph -- Christoph Derndorfer co-editor, www.olpcnews.com e-mail: christ...@olpcnews.com _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
