Group: Lauren, Luke, Jenna, Nick,Dana, Kenzie, Noah, Kira, and Bella
In this group, we discussed the quote, “Here, no one teaches another, nor is anyone self-taught. People teach each other.”
One of the main topics our group focused on is how a person learns the most when they are talking. We mentioned that when we are learning a complex topic such as math, we have to talk ourselves through the problems in order to really understand it. Even if the reason we are talking it out is to help someone else learn (tutoring or just explaining it), the repetition of the process helps to ingrain it into our brains. On the other hand, sometimes this repetition can lead to memorization and this could be detrimental to our learning. That is why being passionate about what you are learning is very important. The more you care about what you are learning, the better you will remember it. It’s just like what Friere said, we need to find a connection between what we are learning and something in our own world. The more personal it gets, the more important the information becomes.
