I listened to Marc Prensky speak twice yesterday about teaching and learning in the 21st Century. One thing that he briefly alluded to was “Power Teaching”. You can find it on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTwjFHorQhk
Suffice to say that it is an interesting piece on student engagement. The piece emphasizes the ability to compare and contrast and the high level of learning that comes from developing the skill.
Marzano (Classroom Instruction that Works from McRel) advocated Comparison/Contrast skill development as one of the classroom instruction strategies with the highest impact on student learning. What do you think?
