That's not learning, that's just memorization.

[-] Syrc@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Oh that’s what you meant, sorry.

But then again, how do you force someone to “learn” and not “memorize”? The way stuff is taught could definitely use improvements, but it’s still very hard to make sure something has actually been learned.

It's very difficult, possibly one of the biggest difficulties facing people. I'm definitely not qualified to give an answer, but we should pay students more and give them more freedom to figure out what works for every child.

I’m assuming you meant teachers (?)

Anyway yeah, imo one of the biggest issues right now is that you can’t expect one person to teach well to 20+ students simultaneously. My best learning experiences in school have been with small classes, where the teacher could actually focus on people who understood less and ensure everyone got at least the very minimum required from an argument before moving to the following one.

Oops, yeah, meant teachers

It's interesting, and I think we can examine college for an answer actually. I don't remember half the things I was taught in my technical classes. I don't know anything aside from basic calculus anymore. But what I do understand are the underlying concepts, even if I don't know the calculations anymore.

That's what we need to target, somehow. I don't know how though, honestly. You need some sort of repetition, and what at have now doesn't work. Maybe if we tie in more real life examples?
