Community Discussion: An exercise in learner-centered education

Confusion reigns - or does it?

@yvsoler and I have been working for about a week to see whether many people are interested in learning to the point of self-correction. We've been posting to #higherorderthinking.

We're employing the method of learner-centered-instruction, by which people decide their learning objectives, and then inquire about them by exploiting the support of (willing!) people with experience in that area.

That's how steemit informs newbies, right?

The difference is that our topics are thinking and learning.

We're applying academic principles of educational psychology and educational philosophy to inform ourselves, and to investigate how the best ideas from those fields can be applied (in action) to improve our learning and improve our effectiveness in life.

Here's what we're investigating to begin with:

Our secondary tags have been to other curated threads. I know very little about the curation process.

Is there a way to tell whether our posts are appearing under those tags?

I suppose that that depends on the curators' opinions...is that correct? (I'm still new here...)

So I'm advertising. Is that allowed?

(Will this be censored?)

If not, then I invite people to c'mon over and chat!
