The three principals that I think would be important for education would be; Committed Learning Principle, Discovery Principle, and Practice Principle. The Committed Learning Principle is an extension of the real-world to the virtual world. It also engages in a lot of effort and practice. The Discovery principle is probably the most important to me because students should be allowed to experiment and make discoveries on their own in order to better their learning experience. The Practice principle gives learners a chance to perfect a certain skill. For example, an athlete going to the gym everyday and practicing free throw shots.
The one activity I would support the most would be the focus of physical education. Not because I’m an athlete but because I would want them to stress the importance of staying fit and healthy in our society. My concern would be mainly to teach students what muscles are doing what in different exercise and teach them about hyperkinetic diseases.
Gee’s principles and stimulations play an important role in education. The focus on keeping students engaged and experiencing hands on a real life situation. There is no better “teacher” than hands on experience.

I really like how you incorporated the principles with fitness.
ReplyDeleteI also believe that the discovery principle is an important principle when it comes to education because it can provide great learning experiences. Great post!
