    I was agreeing until the last few sentences. The issue is that many teachers do not understand, differentiated instruction, therefore, starting with a base of learning styles, is very helpful as they build their pedagogy and teaching philosophy. Incorporating "multiple learning styles" throughout your units is a way to make sure that they are varying lesson and not ending up like many teachers in the past, and only doing direct instruction. I would like to know your definition and criteria of a "good teacher." Acknowledging and considering "learning styles" is a part of differentiated instruction and a"good" educators understands that there are definitely more than three learning styles.

    Thank you I feel much better feeling about this, I struggle a lot in math to the point when I have to take tests I just fail horribly at them, I try to understand the topic but when it comes to studying it just doesn't get me. I sometimes feel embarrassed when it comes to talking about my grade/s for math so I normally say I have a better grade than what I actually have. I took a final today and got a bad grade on it, I was bummed out and stressed but now I'm just trying to see how to remake it without going into summer school or anything like that.

    I'm a slow writer My handwriting can be fast, but it's ugly, so I have to change my handwriting in the hall, and that slows me down. I need to improve my handwriting and its' speed. I'm also terrible at rationalizing. I hyperfocus on one answer. I need to learn to be more rational and less of a perfectionist when it comes to examinations I need to understand that it's okay not to finish a question, or add all the details when there's not much time left. I need to remember to always start with the easiest, low-risk questions and work my way up instead of vice versa. I need to practice time management. I need to understand that exams are a test of width, and not of depth. Thank you for this. I'm often well prepared, but these prove a challenge EVERYTIME I often just get depressed and hate myself

      It sounds like you've done a really good job of analyzing what the issue is, and so many people have a lot of trouble just getting to that point. It does sound like a lot of the issues stem from wanting to write a perfect paper...to sort of sum up what you've said, it sounds like many of your issues would resolve if you could keep in the forefront of your mind that the test you write is not a finished product that you'll necessarily be proud of...it's a snapshot in time, and much of your goal is to make the field of that snapshot as wide and complete as you can, and not worry that it's blurry, the framing is a little off, the composition sucks, etc. Keep after it...it takes time and practice.

She wanted to know everything. So, i took down everything she said, word for word, not paying attention to the content meaning, but the content....i would then memorize 6 full pages of notes, word for word, and while it was worse than torture, i got 100 on the next tests. All that did was test my ability to memorize info, then dump it where appropriate. I didnt learn a damn thing in that class.

    This video is a bit of click bait but also a bit of cherry picking extreme parts of a theory to say it's invalid. Students learn with different strategies that help them in situations and sometimes those strategies are different from others. Some show tendencies to learning in specific ways because thats what works for them.

    Hello Daniel Willingham, I am currently reading your book on "how to outsmart your brain" and I am finding it extremely useful. One thing I am quite confused about is whether to use past paper questions/question banks to study for courses like medicine. From the book I learned the importance of make your own revision guide but, I also think that doing PPQ/question banks is also very important and could be even more so as I am getting used to the style of exam question. And so I want to know you views on it.

    • @dbw8m
      @dbw8m 8 месяцев назад

      "Getting used to the style of the exam question" is, I think, right on target. I think old exams are def useful for that purpose. And for some STEM courses where you're asked to solve problems they can be useful as a source of practice problems. In the book I was trying to warn against something I see a lot in my students--relying too much on old exams for studying. It's too narrow, but has the feeling of being more valuable than it really is, becaue the questions are so authentic!

    • @Osmo-fq4qy
      @Osmo-fq4qy 8 месяцев назад

      Thank you for your replay this is really helpful. I also have one more question if it is fine: Whilst making a flash card a person things about the content a lot which is really good. But after making and whilst using it, it might only improve their retreival and they won't think about the content as much. Because they would just try to remember the answer to the question. So I am a bit reluctant on making a flash card on everything especially on content heavy subjects like medicine. What do you think it is best to do?

    • @dbw8m
      @dbw8m 8 месяцев назад

      @@Osmo-fq4qy You can make flashcard questions that require deeper thinking: "compare X to either A, B, or C and explain how they are the same and different." OR "explain why P causes Q...is there a circumstance where P coudl NOT cause Q?"

    What's happening now isn't "random." It's deliberate multiculturalism. It's allowing children the freedom to choose their own books, and to follow their own interests. The end result is a mish mash of different background knowledge and perspectives - which looks like students were provided with random information - but the unified theory is that we, as a country, value and acknowledge diversity. If we're deciding that isn't true anymore, then we have to come to terms with what we value instead. (And face the repercussions - which will look like a lot of resentment and rebellion from marginalized groups.)

    First, George Miller and his co-authors absolutely did coin the term "working memory" in 1960, in a book called "Plans and the Structure of Behavior." Second, Chat GPT is still in its infancy. This video will be obsolete in a few months - and in a few years, so will psychology professors. I'm not saying it's good or bad, but that is our reality.

    ChatGPT will do considerably better if you use some prompt engineering techniques. Try asking for 23 multiple choice questions but provide 3 of the multiple choice questions yourself and then provide the 4rth question and dont provide the multiple choice answer. It should complete the rest in the similar difficulty. ChatGPT doesnt want to be helpful. It just fills in the tokens so if you provide good tokens you end up in the distribution that is helpful to you otherwise you are in the most generic distribution. Some other interesting techniques that work is asking for questions that will be challenging for IQ 120 (not higher since you might end up in a troll distribution where people claim high IQ) It also sometimes gets things wrong but it knows that it got it wrong. You can fix the questions that have incorrect answers by simply stating fix the questions that have incorrect answers. It will always reason better if you ask it to think step by step. There is an even better way to ask it to think step by step but i forget the exact prompt. I hope you find it helpful

      What I heard is that if you ask it to explain the steps then it does better. One AI expert also said that people have found better responses when they were polite to it, which is particularly freaky. I use: Write three multiple choice questions based on this content to test learners comprehension of it. For each question give three options of a similar length. Make it difficult for learners to get the right answer based on context clues in the question, for example, make each option of a similar length and equally positive or negative. Do not use the options "all of the above" or "none of the above.". Explain underneath how the question is difficult to guess using context clues. For each question write one sentence explaining why the correct option is the right answer. -

    Just came across your channel and super helpful. As a counselor, the latter section on the headings and subheadings is how I have directed students to focus their thoughts before reading. I know this is part of the SQ3R process, which I find lacks energizing students to apply the process, so I changed the title to predicting test questions. It does get various "yeah right," but once we break the process down to look at headings and subheadings and establish meaning, I have seen it sink in. It also helps that I use a pamphlet created by the Kansas Board of Education to counteract common test construction mistakes to drive home how or why test questions are constructed in various ways and for different purposes.
