I wonder if this sequence of shorter cycles, innovation and longer cycles also applies to learning? <br /><br />What if learners were experiencing diminishing astonishment from what and how they were getting taught. It wouldn't take much for them to get bored, disinterested and distracted. An innovation could be the application of the two most recent posts on your blog. The learners might be experiencing the context of whole real-world tasks, the immediate use of a cognitive structure, etc. This would seem astonishing at first, in contrast to being bored, learning nothing, etc. <br /><br />The engagement induced by this innovative context would lengthen the cycle. It would then take a lot more adversity, lack of context, defiance of first principles -- to get the learners to lose interest and to diminish their astonishment.Tom Haskinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12658791778134826289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117005533318160902.post-58139803205192293342009-06-19T00:46:33.065-06:002009-06-19T00:46:33.065-06:00Hi Tom,
