Proper questioning has become a lost art. The curious four-year-old asks a lot of questions — incessant streams of “Why?” and “Why not?” might sound familiar — but as we grow older, our questioning decreases.

People think they learn faster than machines, according to research. When research participants were asked to bet on either their own prediction ability or the clearly superior acumen of an algorithm, they were more likely to bet on their own ability if they had seen that the algorithm was imperfect, according to a team from The Wharton School. This is a case of algorithm aversion, Walter Frick writes on HBR.org: People don’t like to rely on algorithms, especially if they’ve seen them fail, even a little. To err may be human, but when an algorithm makes a mistake, we’re not likely to trust it again.

Teaching student to think...we know this is not as easy as it sounds. This post suggests looking at this through the lens of the visual displayed above (which comes from The Foundation for Critical Thinking) and recommends that you use three simple steps (quoted from post): 1) TELL students that you want them to work on their thinking. 2) Choose ONE element of thought, intellectual standard, or intellectual trait and teach students what it means. 3) Give students something to think about and ask them to practice improving their thinking. Each of these ideas are discussed in the post and suggestions are provided to help you implement this in the classroom. On Feb. 4, 2015 I posted an article "The Question Game: A Playful Way to Teach Students to Think" and a number of people have responded to it. This post provides some additional ways to teach students to think and many of them are playful also. If one of your goals in teaching is to help students gain this skill take the time to read this post.

A nice article with some important principles for Socratic seminar. One of them, "Avoid doing all the work for them," is a key component to any seminar experience. This often takes the form of "gradual release of responsibility," since students need to be taught skills first before they get a chance to practice.

In a study of thousands of children ages 3 to 18, a 1-hour-a-day increase in video-game time on weekdays was found to increase mathematical-reasoning scores by 9.3% of a standard deviation — about the same as spending the time studying, either inside or outside of school, says Agne Suziedelyte of Monash University in Australia. The effect is larger in families that invest more time in their children. Video games appear to improve children’s problem-solving ability, a skill that is useful in many life and work situations, Suziedelyte says.
