Student Misconceptions in Learning

Every student has a unique way of thinking, learning and making sense of what he/she hears or sees. Their active imagination is constantly building new connections and assimilating new information. Research shows that these thought processes contribute to how a child learns. However, some faulty ideas can lead to several learning gaps. These learning gaps need to be identified, questioned and corrected before they result into what are called alternate conceptions or misconceptions.

 

 

 

Educational Initiatives and Wirpo Applying Thought in School will be launching a Video Series on the Student Misconceoptions on the 29th of November 2008.
