Fact and Concepts, are they the same?
Apparently not.
Facts, according to this week's lesson, requires a more straightforward teaching approach as compared to Concepts.
For facts, methods like Linking and Associations can be use. For example, using acronyms, organising information into chunks and elaboration.
For concepts, it requires a more detailed method with involves defining the concept, telling learners what it is, providing examples to make sense out of it and eventually asking the learners to explain wat the concept is.
I think we as students can actually captitalise on this particular topic.
Many times, in our course of study, we come across many bewildering concepts. In order for us to understand the concepts, we can actually make use of the methods taught in this particular topic and exercise it in our studies. This goes similarly for facts that need to be memorized.
Could be something quite useful to us.. =)
