K-12 Topic: How Students Learn

10-second review: How do students learn best? “Students learn best when they find their own experience useful to their learning.”

“Students learn best when they feel confident and when they find a reason to learn.”

“Students learn best when they discover the relationship between personal experience and public knowledge.”

Comment: Yes! Students learn best when they know the answer to the question, “What’s in it for me?” And use their own experience to help them learn. RayS.
