Hey everyone,
I guess I have been wondering if I can ever bust out of the traditional way of learning. I have been wrapped up in it for so long, I feel as though I only know how to do it that one way. I know that I want to teach constructively, but I am still struggling with ways on how to do it. For example, I have been working on the Pick’s Theorem problem and I am trying my best to figure it out on my own, without help from peers or looking it up, but inside I am screaming for a solution, a formula, an answer!
I am thinking about how it is so easy to get an answer when you are learning traditionally because the teachers just give you the answer, but in the end, am I even learning? Now, when I don’t have a formula to work with, I actually have to look and search for the answer by myself and without help. It is hard and in the back of my head I am asking myself, is the traditional way of learning really that bad? I know the answer to that question. I know that learning constructively is the only way to actually learn. What I am trying to say is that it is extremely tough to go from one way of learning to a total opposite way of learning. I am trying to adapt, I know it will take time. I just want to know how everyone else is feeling. Am I the only one who is struggling trying to transition into this new type of learning? Does anyone else feel like at times they even miss the traditional type of learning? I am just curious…
