There is a chapter on the difference between how experts think and beginners think. It had much the same message as this post. One of my greatest challenges is realizing that there are stages of learning and most students will have to pass through all of them. Furthermore, students must develop into self guiding, self sustaining learners, they aren't born this way. Guiding them towards this goal is probably our most important task. I am working on getting past expecting students to be able to do things, it isn't easy.Fall Garlichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08006415415564057894noreply@blogger.com
