Piaget was right! A mind that questions, explores, and assesses information as it learns, learns more deeply and more meaningfully. Active learners build larger schemas and remember more of what they learn because the learning has personal meaning for them. Active learners are self- confident and self-reliant students . 1. Connect: Discuss a project or activity you’ve engaged in within the past six months which connected your classroom learning with the real world . If you have none, describe a project or activity you would like to do and three ways it would connect your learning to the real world. _ ____________________________________________________________________ _ ____________________________________________________________________ _ ____________________________________________________________________ _ ____________________________________________________________________ 2. Engage: When’s the last time you engaged in an intellectual discussion or debate outside of the classroom ? What was it about? Politics? The environment? Science? A social issue? Who was involved? What was the outcome? What did you learn?
