Donald - - - I am a physic and math teacher at a rural high school. I
am in my 26 th year. I have noticed that students are unable to transfer
knowledge from the math area to the physics area. It is like each course
should be a seperate entity, at least in the students mind. I work at
showing this transfer, something 'akin' to getting blood from a turnip. I
place some of the blame on a teaching technigue called mastery learning.
Only what is tested is what is taught. Questions that require applicaiton
are "unfair' by student standards ( and our curriculum director). However
things are beginning to swing in the direction of - - - practical
application of the principles. A revolutionary idea brought on by the fact
that industry has complained that students are not able to perform "thinking
skill' tasks.
There is hope.
