Transfer in Learning by Doing
We develop two related themes, learning procedures and knowledge transfer. This paper introduces two methods for learning procedures and one for transferring previously-learned knowledge to a slightly different task. We demonstrate by experiment that transfer accelerates learning.
متن کاملLearning by doing.
You have roughly 40 contact hours in a typical course. If all you do in them is lecture, you might as well just hand out your notes and let the students find something more productive to do with all that time. The only way a skill is developed—skiing, cooking, writing, critical thinking, or solving thermodynamics problems—is practice: trying something, seeing how well or poorly it works, reflec...
متن کاملLearning by Doing
This chapter reviews the theoretical and empirical literature on learning by doing. Many of the distinctive theoretical implications of learning by doing have been derived under the assumption that the cost-quantity relationships observed in numerous empirical studies are largely the result of passive learning, and some further require that passive learning is unbounded. The empirical literatur...
متن کاملHands-on Engineering: Learning by Doing in the Integrated Teaching and Learning Program*
An integrated teaching and learning (ITL) program was initiated in 1992 by a team of faculty and students who articulated an ambitious vision for undergraduate engineering education reform: ` . . . to pioneer a multidisciplinary learning environment that integrates engineering theory with practice and promotes creative, team-oriented problem-solving skills.' The ITL Laboratory was dedicated in ...
متن کاملLearning More by Doing Less
A principal must decide whether to implement each of two independent proposals (e.g., earmark requests, policy reforms, grant funding) of unknown quality. Each proposal is represented by an agent who advocates by producing evidence about quality. Although the principal prefers the most-informative evidence, agents strategically choose less-informative evidence to maximize the probability the pr...
