[The “testing effect” or “retrieval practice”] Studying With Quizzes HELPS Make Sure the Material Sticks

[The “testing effect” or “retrieval practice”] Studying With Quizzes HELPS Make Sure the Material Sticks | Machines Pensantes | Scoop.it
From ww2.kqed.org - November 22, 2016 9:38 AM
This phenomenon — testing yourself on an idea or concept to help you remember it — is called the “testing effect” or “retrieval practice.” People have known about the idea for centuries. Sir Francis Bacon mentioned it, as did the psychologist William James. In 350 BCE, Aristotle wrote that “exercise in repeatedly recalling a thing strengthens the memory.”

But the testing effect had been mostly overlooked in recent years. “What psychologists interested in learning and memory have always emphasized is the acquisition part. The taking [information] in and getting it into memory,” Roediger said.

Laypeople — and even experts — tend to think of human memory as a box to be packed with information.

 

“Memory is dynamic, and it keeps changing,” McDaniel said. “And retrieval helps it change.”

Dit artikel daagt ons uit om de 'varken metafoor /evaluatie stelling' in vraag te stellen. (een varken verdikt niet door het vaker te wegen). Het antwoord zit volgens dit artikel in de wijze waarop we wegen.

The Question Game: A PLAYFUL Way To Teach Critical Thinking

The Question Game: A PLAYFUL Way To Teach Critical Thinking | Machines Pensantes | Scoop.it
From www.teachthought.com - February 8, 2015 10:39 AM

"Big idea: Teaching kids to ask smart questions on their own

A four-year-old asks on average about 400 questions per day, and an adult hardly asks any. Our school system is structured around rewards for regurgitating the right answer, and not asking smart questions – in fact, it discourages asking questions. With the result that as we grow older, we stop asking questions. Yet asking good questions is essential to find and develop solutions, and an important skill in innovation, strategy, and leadership. So why do we stop asking questions – and more importantly, why don’t we train each other, and our future leaders, to ask the right questions starting from early on?"

I agree with the fact that recently,students have been 'trained' to give the correct and not ask smart questions.In school ,teachers usually ask us questions and if we answer that correctly, we get praised.For subjects sciences and humanities require a lot of questioning and thinking in order to understand and to learn  more quickly.In my opinion, i think that teachers should give students a chance to ask questions that they have and not go through a topic blindly.If the students is shy to ask, the teacher could create a website so that the whole class can ask questions whenever they feel like and both the teachers and students themselves can answer the questions.This would enable the student to think out of the box to ask and answer questions by themselves

The best augmented reality apps THAT AREN'T Pokemon GO | #AR #RA 

The best augmented reality apps THAT AREN'T Pokemon GO | #AR #RA  | Machines Pensantes | Scoop.it
From www.smh.com.au - August 13, 2016 12:40 PM

Pokemon GO isn't the only app that seamlessly blends virtual objects into the real world.

 

In a very short time, Pokemon GO has pushed augmented reality (AR) into the mainstream. Its ability to overlay digital animations onto the real world using your phone's camera and screen is unlike any other popular game before it. But Pokemon GO isn't the only app that seamlessly blends virtual objects into the real world. Here are the best AR apps not linked with Nintendo.

While Pokémon GO has became a cultural phenomenon, it is not the first, nor the last, augmented reality application.
Elaine Weseman's curator insight, September 17, 2023 8:13 PM
"Pokémon Go!" When I saw this headline, my interest was piqued. What other apps use augmented reality as seamlessly as Pokémon Go? Turns out, quite a few. Most are game-related but others involve shopping. All of them involve socially interacting with others. Social interaction is exactly what the world needs more of -- interaction with people. After COVID, we are still learning how to socialize with others in a less fearful stance, and games like these can help to calm our anxieties about hanging out with people.

The MAKER Movement and the Rebirth of Constructionism - Hybrid Pedagogy

The MAKER Movement and the Rebirth of Constructionism - Hybrid Pedagogy | Machines Pensantes | Scoop.it
From www.hybridpedagogy.com - March 2, 2015 12:28 PM
The culmination of my quest for more powerful learning grounded in theory and research came when recently I conducted an experiment in pushing constructionism into the digital age.

 

Constructionism is based on two types of construction. First, it asserts that learning is an active process, in which people actively construct knowledge from their experience in the world. People don’t get ideas; they make them. This aspect of construction comes from the constructivist theory of knowledge development by Jean Piaget. To Piaget’s concept, Papert added another type of construction, arguing that people construct new knowledge with particular effectiveness when they are engaged in constructing personally meaningful products.

Imagine my surprise and joy when I realized that I had arrived at constructionism prior to knowing that such a theory even existed. I believe that thousands of other educators are unknowingly working within the constructionist paradigm as well. Although many within the Maker movement are aware that it has it’s roots in constructionism, the movement is gaining impressive momentum without the majority of Makers realizing that there is a strong theoretical foundation behind their work.

 

After I came to understand this connection between my practices and the supporting theoretical framework I was better able to focus and refine my practice. Even more importantly, I felt more confident and powerful in forging ahead with further experiments in the learning situations I design for my learners.

Fortunately, getting a solid layer of protection against such exploits moving forward is pretty straightforward. For one, you can tape up that webcam — it’s a bit tinfoil hat, sure, but it’s better than having a photo of your bad bits blasted out to the Internet on some shady-ass Tumblr. Second, consider using Firefox* with something like NoScript, disabling it only for trusted sites.
