uman confirmation bias is strongest with highly emotionally charged issues or deeply entrenched beliefs.
Like politics

significant learning takes major investments of time.
Yes this is true, however sometimes you don't have time to take to teach it and have time for students to transfer their learning, especially depending on the group. Ideally yes, I would love more time to invest, but that's not always reality.
-
Transfer is affected by the degree to which people learn with understanding rather than merely memorize sets of facts or follow a fixed set of procedures
This is very important to learning. I feel like sometimes I teach it to memorize it (math) but I need to work on why it is important why we learn this.
-
Processes of learning and the transfer of learning are central to understanding how people develop important competencies.
Just like internship year!

The biggest problem I have with teaching by far is trying to get into the mind-set of a ninth grader…”
I have this problem too. Sometimes I forget what life of a 4th grader would feel like. They always seem to be involved with thousands of other things that it is hard to prioritize. I also try to model a lot for them, hoping to organize their thinking more.
-
conditionalize their knowledge
This happens all the time with my students. They like to give up and want to know the answer right away. I really have to model for them how to use and apply their tools.

Mathematics experts
For some people, it is easier to grasp concepts and remember number patterns and rules because its, just numbers. Math is pretty cut and dry (for the most part)
-
Chess masters perceive chunks of meaningful information, which affects their memory for what they see
This is true with students, students learn in chunks. You cannot overload them with information. It is hard to balance spacing things out and keeping up with the year's pacing guide and expectations.

Interesting. I like to think that I learn like a student. I learn best from hands on learning and visual learning. I do not like to learn by reading articles and watching presentations. But that is sometimes the way they teach us in college. So that makes it harder to grasp. Some of my favorite/memorable classes at MSU were ones that were engaging.
-
but it is not impossible. The emerging science of learning underscores the importance of rethinking what is taught, how it is taught, and how learning is assessed.
My school district is heading toward this new way of thinking. We have been going to lots of workshops and meetings talking about inquiry.
-
Nevertheless, they provide important glimpses of connections between goals for learning and teaching practices that can affect students’ abilities to accomplish these goal
This is always the goal to get students more involved with their learning and take it to the higher degree. However, students are kids who get really excited about using technology and what not which makes it hard to keep them focused on the content instead. However, I am a newer teacher and each year I try to present it in a way where the kids are both learning and using technology.
-
They come to formal education with a range of prior knowledge, skills, beliefs, and concepts that significantly influence what they notice about the environment and how they organize and interpret it. This, in turn, affects their abilities to remember, reason, solve problems, and acquire new knowledge
Background knowledge is so important to the learning process. If they have a slight understanding of what you are talking about, they can then expand their thinking on whatever you're teaching.
-
Thoughtful participation in the democratic process has also become increasingly complicated as the locus of attention has shifted from local to national and global concerns.
This is something that I really want to make it a goal to bring it more to my classroom. I feel like my students live in a small town bubble and they would learn a great deal from others around the country. Maybe from this study abroad I can make new friends and we can become pen pals or something.
-
It was not the general rule for educational systems to train people to think and read critically, to express themselves clearly and persuasively, to solve complex problems in science and mathematics.
Interesting because this is what we now expect from our students.

Neuroscience
I have heard a lot about this, I would like to hear 1st hand experience how this affected their child or themselves.
-
all learning takes place in settings that have particular sets of cultural and social norms and expectations and that these settings influence learning and transfer in powerful ways.
I agree that learning does take place when the environment is good.
-
Today, cognitive researchers are spending more time working with teachers, testing and refining their theories in real classrooms where they can see how different settings and classroom interactions influence applications of their theories.
Realistic observations are really important when making data and other theories. I don't really like when professors or authors claim a theory but it doesn't apply to certain schools.
