Our discussion group started with the question, \u201cIs in-class learning or hands on experience more beneficial to students?\u201d We could all agree that hands-on, real life experience is more beneficial. For example, in a science class you can talk about formulas all you want, but you might not actually understand what you are learning until you perform an experiment. We also said that, in real life experiences, you will mess up and be able to learn from your mistakes, but if you mess up on a test you won\u2019t get a second chance. We also all agreed that we are visual learners, so that hands-on learning works best for us. But, we did consider that some students might not enjoy this type of learning if the are more reserved and don\u2019t really like to participate. The down side of that though, is that some students could just be trying to get an A and aren\u2019t actually retaining the information they are given. Then they face the problem of memorizing, but not actually learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
