Diversity, Collaboration, and Learning by Invention
Learning-by-invention is an approach to mathematical instruction where small groups explore possible methods of solution before learning the “right answer” (e.g., Schwartz & Martin, 2004; Kapur & Bielaczyc, 2011). In a series of studies we have been investigating the effects of group composition in terms of math ability on learning by invention. An initial result showed that groups consisting o...
متن کاملLearning by doing.
You have roughly 40 contact hours in a typical course. If all you do in them is lecture, you might as well just hand out your notes and let the students find something more productive to do with all that time. The only way a skill is developed—skiing, cooking, writing, critical thinking, or solving thermodynamics problems—is practice: trying something, seeing how well or poorly it works, reflec...
متن کاملLearning by Doing
This chapter reviews the theoretical and empirical literature on learning by doing. Many of the distinctive theoretical implications of learning by doing have been derived under the assumption that the cost-quantity relationships observed in numerous empirical studies are largely the result of passive learning, and some further require that passive learning is unbounded. The empirical literatur...
متن کاملLearning More by Doing Less
A principal must decide whether to implement each of two independent proposals (e.g., earmark requests, policy reforms, grant funding) of unknown quality. Each proposal is represented by an agent who advocates by producing evidence about quality. Although the principal prefers the most-informative evidence, agents strategically choose less-informative evidence to maximize the probability the pr...
متن کاملTaxation under Learning-by-Doing∗
We study optimal labor-income taxation in a dynamic economy in which the agents’ productivity is their own private information, is stochastic, and evolves endogenously over the lifecycle due to learning-by-doing. First, we identify novel distortions that originate in the endogeneity of the agents’ private information and that contribute to higher labor wedges under the optimal tax code. Next, w...
