5. 1. Write down your answer “How do you learn
something new?”
2. Pass your answer to the person on your left.

6. Goal of Learning
Learning is viewed here as developing a way of
thinking and acting that is characteristic of an expert
community. Such a way of thinking consists of three
important elements:
1.the knowledge that represents phenomena in the
subject domain
2.the thinking activities that construe, modify and use
this knowledge to interpret situations in that domain
and
3.to act in them.

7. Define Flipped Medical Class
A flipped class involves students
learning facts and theories as
homework prior to attending class.
Classroom time is more valuably
used learning the application of
those facts and theories to medical
practice.

19. Perhaps what most
distinguishes us humans
from the rest of the animal
kingdom is our ravenous
desire to find structure in the
information we pick up in the
world. We cannot help
actively searching for
patterns.

Brain”
