Set Point

Submitted by RecycleJack Marine on Fri, 07/10/2009 - 12:06pm.

I was looking through my notes from this morning and I could help but notice that the concept of Set Point is an excellent metaphorical concept for students and learning. We strive to expand the learning of our students and while it's important that we are their conductors, it's also important that they have time to explore and discover engagement on their own...i.e. Emergent. Here's the metaphor- if studentts have set points at which  they are either set in their ways or set at a point of knowledge, we can let them learn through explorations and their "set points" are changed. In other words they go past that set point to higher levels of thinking and learning.
