Why inductive learning is neglected but central to the learning sciences?
Induction is the process by which people find pattern and rule across examples. It is the cognitive heart of discovery learning and the scientific process. Induction also makes it possible to taste new flavors in beer. Induction is a powerful learning mechanism that can yield more precise knowledge, better transfer, and longer retention. If done poorly, it can also lead to very tenacious misconceptions. If it is so important for learning, why have you never heard of it before? Where can you get some for your students?
