I
have taught like I was taught; I am seeing the
light, though.
"Teaching
is not telling; repeating is not learning!"
As
much as we might dislike the implications, research is showing that didactic
exposition of abstract ideas and lines of reasoning (however engaging and lucid
we might try to make them) to passive listeners yields pathetically thin
results in learning and understanding - except in the very small percentage of
students who are specially gifted in the field.
