Of the more foundational thing, and now I'm being pushed And that process continues,Īnd you immediately start to realize how strange this is. Move on to the next subject, probably a more advanced subject The five percent they didn't know? Even though we've identified the gaps, the whole class will then Gaps in our knowledge, I didn't know 25 percent of the material. On that test, maybe I get a 75 percent, maybe you get a 90 percent, maybe you get a 95 percent. Two or three weeks, and then we get a test. We'll review the homework, then another lecture, homework, Pre-algebra class, and the current unit is on exponents, the teacher will giveĪ lecture on exponents, then we'll go home, do some homework. And what typically happens, let's say we're in a middle school Usually by age, and around middle school, by age and perceived ability, and we shepherd them all In a traditional academic model, we group students together,
But what we point out - this is not the way a traditionalĪcademic model is structured, the type of academic model Over and over again, and only when you've mastered it, you go on to the more advanced one. It's the way you learnĪ musical instrument: you practice the basic piece Practice the white belt skills as long as necessary, and only when you've mastered it you would move on to become a yellow belt. You would master a lot of things in life. That it wasn't fixed that they actually were capable They found resources like Khan Academy and they were able to fill in those gapsĪnd master those concepts, and that reinforced their mindset But when they were a bit older, they took a little agencyĪnd decided to engage. By the time they got to algebra, they had so many gaps in their knowledge Got a little more intense, student after student saying Most of the comments are not "Thank you." (Laughter) They're a little edgier than that. Some of those videos on YouTube, and I realized that people I saw it in the early days when I was uploading Or they'd get to a calculus class, and they'd be a little bit Shaky on some of the pre-algebra, and because of that, they thought They got to an algebra class and they might have been a little bit With math at first, because they had all of these gapsĪccumulated in their learning. And it's the idea of mastery and the idea of mindset. My observations at Khan Academy, are kind of the core,
