Documentary trailer “Waiting for Superman”. One of the reasons I decided to pursuit a PhD in Education.
So much reading to do… here are some interesting thoughts I’d like to jot down while I read:
“Education functions, at least in secular societies, as a text that says something about the things society considers sacred” David Gordon
Understanding is about transfer. To be truly able requires the ability to transfer what we have learned to new settings. It involves the capacity to take what we know and use it creatively, flexibly, fluently, in different settings or problems, on our own.
— From my text book ‘understanding understanding’
