How many students are satisfied with accepting their first Internet hit without comparing information and validating sources? How many adults do the same? With today's technology, instant gratification and completing a task as quickly as possible seem to be the norm. This article describes two components of the learning process that help students focus on the process and not just the answer: (1) asking essential questions; and (2) having students self-reflect on their learning. Essential questions help students understand what they learn in the context of their own lives and causes them to explore more broadly than they otherwise would. Reflection is important if students are to understand what they have learned and retain that knowledge. Through reflection, students go beyond recalling, explaining, and applying information--they learn to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate that information. |
