This episode is for teachers who are trying to unravel the complex issue of learning and teaching. I will be recording a series of episodes summarizing and reviewing each chapters from the seminal book "How Learning Happens".

Book: How Learning Happens - Seminal Works in Educational Psychology and What They Mean in Practice

Paul A. Kirschner and Carl Hendrick

Chapter 1: A novice is not a little expert

The takeaways are:

a. Beginners aren’t “little” experts; they know less and think differently than experts.

b. Children also aren’t small adults. They see the world very differently and therefore have to learn differently.

c. A teaching approach that works well with an expert will most probably not work well with a beginner and can even be detrimental to their learning.

d. Try to differentiate at an early stage.

e. The epistemology of the expert is not the proper pedagogy for the learner.
