I was a great reminder that in a 24hr period they retain, 25% of what they hear, 40% of what they see, and 70% of what they are physically involved in.
Teaching adult learners will require a variation in learning tools. All students retain information at different levels and as a facilitator you need to add concrete, hands on activities that student to relate information too for future recall.
Because students retain information at different levels as an instructor you need to add concrete, hands on activities that student to relate information to easier recall. It seems that relatable information seems to stick more in the students memory bank.
The concrete and abstract models significantly simplify the reasoning behind how culinary students learn techniques. The concrete would be the how to do, and the abstract would seek out ways to employ the technique.
Ages of brain development.
Students needs a concrete or abstract application to devellop their thinking, skills in the area they have to succeed
I really enjoyed the information on how the brain works and how to use that information to really help the students obtain in
From our earliest learning age to adulthood, our brains are continuously learning. Through the different stages of life, we tend to retain information differently.
I never realized it took so long for the brain to develop.
I love how the brain can devlop over time, to change its process of perception and what to do with that perception. How you can be concrete about a item or abstract, and include a possible change.
peoplem learn differnetly
When teaching we must realize that the individuals brain may learn things in different ways.
Generational learning needs to be considered in the classroom. It was beneficial to speak through stages of development.
We are experiencing information overload at all times thru the world we live in. I see all the time how difficult it is to clear space in the students minds to grasp and hold on to new information. This module was very helpful in finding new strategies. The episodic and semantic areas for me a great way to start new things. I reallly like the idea of attaching an experience to a learning process. I also think that in my field of work tying the senses to a learning experience is very helpful. Herbs textures, smells, visual and auditory learning are so relavant to the culinary field. Multitasking is also one that is so important
Understanding that the adult brain does not reach maturation until age 25 gave me a better perspective on how adult learners process and retain information.
My field is rife w both concrete and abstract thinking on a constant basis.
This subject provides a better understanding of how the brain functions, retains, stores and applies information. From a students point of view but can also be applied to the instructors point of view as well.
I agree with the other users. This is a good review of how the adult brain works.
This module really broke down how students think for me! I enjoyed learning about semantic, episodic, and working memory. Concrete and Abstract thinking is crucial not only to the student's learning but curriculum development. Just by learning the definitions of concrete and abstract thinking, I can identify parts of the lesson plans I've already written that have students think in these ways.
I hadn't really heard much about deletion, distortion, or generalization before this module. I've covered memory types extensively, so learning about the filters was interesting. As a graphic communications teacher, it'll definitely help expand upon why we retain certain things and how graphic designers can work towards helping audiences retain a specific message or meaning. It'll also help me when I work on my lesson plans!
