Read the literature before calling for signaling

Many educators are passionate about this topic; it has been hotly debated since the 1960s. Even though this is the case, those opposing these views rarely cite empirical evidence and more often than not simply cite opinion papers. The literature cited in this article is by some of the most widely respected folks in the business. Before sounding off, weigh the issues, read the literature and make sound evidence-based judgments.

Reference to 'Learning styles' needs a health warning

I realise that this is not the only problem with this article, as the previous comments testify, but there is a particular problem with the uncritical reference to 'learning styles', without noting that the concept is a contentious one, whose use to drive pedagogic choices has been much criticised (as documented in the Wikipedia article on the subject).

using meaningless concepts

one of the paragraphs has meaningless concepts, that just bring more confusion rather that understanding. if someone knows what this words means?

constructivist strategies

rich structure of knowledge

high-profile activities

realistic practical sense

dynamic environment

as far as I know this words partly came from this article. https://doi.org/10.1080%2F0968776950030202

but I would not give a try to find meaning of this words from context. I suggest to rewrite or delete list of Characteristics of learning environment. Derek Di My Mind (talk) 09:49, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
