The card reminds me of a Geography exam question: would you typically numbered countries should ide

The other day I almost threw a pamphlet which way a publishing company a map of Africa. (On the map, their logo wherever princesses they have a distribution branch has, in almost every African country). Just a simple pamphlet.
Oddly, I think that Geography at school atlyd me such a trivial subject was. I had to painstakingly memorize them in the Free State maize farmer - a fact that for a city kid in the Cape not mean much.
The card reminds me of a Geography exam question: would you typically numbered countries should identify. princesses And elementary school teacher would warn you that you have the map on page 57 to study for the test.
I read the around-the-Saharan countries names, see the boundaries and try recall the names without having to cheat. I repeated the process, count later that day the pamphlet and realized that I really just my short term memory ...
I'm so conditioned to memorize Geography as for an exam question that I were not doing anything to learn. For all the countries temporarily princesses to recognize teach me anything about any of the African countries. I spend my time with a meaningless memory game and not having a whole brain learning experience.
How can one learn? I know. I know how learning works: You must create neuronverbindings; you need a network princesses of knowledge to build on existing knowledge; you have your multiple intelligences harness.
Instead of the entire map by reading so I after a while flawless recall, I had better country-by-country a little reading princesses up on Wikipedia. Shows how the country's people, they are issues that each country is unique; own associations to form the new knowledge so that Togo is not just a name on a card for me is that I sometimes borders on wrong link, but I am the borders and color with a full picture of a full-fledged nation.
So often teach our students to simply recall facts in testing situations. We therefore encourage it to. But dead borders memorizing is not nice - it's boring; We make children's natural fascination with the world around them died.
Only after I went with a friend by the nine provinces of South Africa tour - and I changing landscape firsthand experience was - I understand mining and maize - and I actually give to.
Hear hear! I still believe any subject that you teach, "alive" to make stimulating. princesses I loved going to school Arries, want..my teacher called it "alive" made. Up to now I remember that African / world-map of my standard 4 Earth book where the country's name / capital / other big city had to know, plus a map of the mountain ranges, (most of every continent) plus the map the rivers of the world (main / longest of each continent) .. so I can continue! I agree it does not make sense, if you do not "experience" / "experience" it.
I have some more to your subscription remembered when I was a terrible road ... 3 different freeways that but very busy and at different points terribly intertwined with other busy roads, I had to really keep a cool head and many rely on my memory - the road past 1keer week drove. princesses It made me think about what you wrote ... experience princesses and experience .. the way it used to be "sin" made, but after last week, especially after vandag..sal I can easily drive from July 2 off - my daily route then! :)
Of course there is still room in education for memorizing-learning - you can not necessarily throughout the world with a child traveling before he / she different continents should be able to name - but hopefully limited by teachers to a minimum, and contextualize new information so that learners can remember effective.
hi Mr. Muller, I hope you did not misunderstand me, I actually thought that "experience / experience" (of reality) helped me to open the way for the second time to drive - without getting lost ... but of course princesses it with the memory also plays a role, but greater self-experience :)
