Group: Samantha pawluczyk , Meghan Kidd, and Laura Mcgroay
In our discussion group we talked about how most of us learn better by hands on experiences. Along with hands on experience most students learn a lot from their mistakes. We also discussed how we learn a lot from trial and error because we realize what was right and wrong. On the other hand, most teachers believe that students learn best from sitting in lectures and teaching us but for students that’s not the case. The problem with students sitting in class and listening to teachers talk is that students are not retaining the information. Most kids are afraid to fail tests and quizzes so they learn the information for the test and quickly forget the information after the test, not gaining any knowledge but only trying to ace the test. We discussed that everyone is different and has different studying tips, so visual learning and experience may not work for everyone but for our group it helps us.
