Ubd Chapter 3

This chapter allowed to conceptually tie toegther the important parts of the chapters before, working backward and understanding learning. The statement "It has to have pedagogical power" stood out to me. The quote continues, "It must enable the learner to make sense of what has come before; and, most notably, be helpful in making new, unfamiliar ideas seem more familiar." (P70) Very often "education" can degenerate into a collection of facts, with a theoritical, or a historical undertstanding. With that, to be sensitive towards eliminating and being aware of very common misconeptions. The dominant stereotypes and superficial thinking always enters the classroom and often can be justified through "academics." The section, "Framing goals in terms of transfer tasks" was also very useful in conceptually undertstanding what are the core task- the "most important performance demands in any field (P78). An educator needs to figure out what are such core tasks, and core concepts, and develop a method based in systems that have such "pedagogical power."
