Putting kids and books in proximity and hoping for osmosis
It’s just not very effective

THE PROBLEM?We need to learn ideas
Ideas are hard to study

WHY IS THAT HARD?We seem to learn ideas by solving problems
Using information to solve specific problems

QUESTION + INFORMATION = ANSWER + IDEA

It is remarkably similar to fictional mystery stories
Like a Dan Brown book

CAN WE USE IT TO TEACH?
Yes
If we just restructure the narrative of teaching

Old style:information = lesson
(learn information, not ideas)
New style:information + mystery or problem = lesson
(get a problem and some information, solve it to learn)

WHY IS THAT BETTER?

NEW NARRATIVE EXAMPLEHow the clouds can tell us if it’s going to rain
(information about clouds; 3 basic groups of clouds, look different because of their height)
Which cloud will bring rain?
(Clues to the answer in the information)

THE RESULT?
Used information to solve a problem
To solve the problem understanding about the idea must have occurred

WHY IS THIS BETTER?Ideas are easier to remember then facts
(Cognitive science has arrived at the understanding that semantic memory is a lot more effective then data memory)
Therefore:
Students will learn more, and remember it for longer
