Educare: The Instructional Fallacy (IF)

The instructional fallacy is the assumption that if instruction is provided, then children will learn. However, the student does not learn. Even if they can master some concepts and skills temporarily, they usually don't remember them for long because they lack curiosity or continued study that depends on the knowledge.

It's not that instruction is defective, its that it is insufficient.

  • Learners must actively engage in order to learn.
  • They should have a genuine curiosity for the material.
  • They should take ownership of the process.

Ultimately, any learner must desire to swallow whatever lesson is being taught. Teachers can offer classes, but they are entirely unable to make students learn, especially not deeply.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
