DiCarlo SE.内容太多,思考不够,乐趣太少!Adv Physiol Educ 33:257-264,2009; doi:10.1152/20.00075.2009.-教师往往高估了他们的内容的重要性,低估了他们的影响力。然而,学生们忘记了他们记住的大部分内容。因此,试图教给学生所有他们需要知道的东西是徒劳的。相反,重要的是学生培养对终身学习的兴趣和热爱。鼓励和激励学生是至关重要的,因为除非学生受到启发和激励,否则我们的努力毫无意义。一旦学生受到启发和激励,有无数的资源可用于了解更多关于一个主题。因此,教师必须放弃错误的观念,即如果他们不“覆盖内容”,学生将对未来毫无准备,他们将作为教师失败。教师不必担心“失去”或“浪费”宝贵的课堂讨论时间,合作解决问题,以及以探究为基础的活动,这些活动占用了时间。与其担心内容的覆盖,教师必须设计活动,让学生学习如何使用科学知识来解决重要问题。这一点很重要,因为学习不是将一组事实记在记忆中,而是使用资源来寻找、评估和使用信息的能力。事实上,死记硬背会阻碍深入思考。深刻的思考是必不可少的,因为理解是思考的残余!为了鼓励思考,我们必须创造一种快乐、兴奋和对学习的热爱。我们必须让学习变得有趣;因为如果我们成功了,我们的学生就会迫不及待地跑回家,学习,沉思真正的学习。
DiCarlo SE. Too much content, not enough thinking, and too little FUN! Adv Physiol Educ 33: 257-264, 2009; doi: 10.1152/advan.00075.2009.-Teachers often overrate the importance of their content and underrate their influence. However, students forget much of the content that they memorize. Thus, attempts to teach students all that they will need to know is futile. Rather, it is important that students develop an interest and love for lifelong learning. Inspiring and motivating students is critical because unless students are inspired and motivated our efforts are pointless. Once students are inspired and motivated, there are countless resources available to learn more about a subject. Thus, teachers must abandon the mistaken notion that unless they "cover the content" students will be unprepared for the future and they will have failed as teachers. Teachers must not worry about "losing" or "wasting" valuable lecture time for in-class discussion, collaborative problem-solving, and inquiry-based activities that take time away from covering content. Rather than worrying about covering content, teachers must design activities to focus student learning on how to use scientific knowledge to solve important questions. This is important because learning is not committing a set of facts to memory but the ability to use resources to find, evaluate, and use information. In fact, memorizing anything discourages deep thinking. Deep thinking is essential because understanding is the residue of thinking! To encourage thinking we must create a joy, an excitement, and a love for learning. We must make learning fun; because if we are successful, our students will be impatient to run home, study, and contemplate-to really learn.
