Concept based learning is about big transferable ideas that transcend time, place, situation.
-Content just focuses on facts while concept focuses on making sense of those facts and the world around us.
-Content based teaching may not get beyond information transmission/superficial learning.
-Concepts are a way to organize and make sense of learning.
-We can’t possibly teach everything that is important, but we can teach the big ideas.
-Concept based learning is a framework to study everything. -So much information. Content can change, concepts stay the same.
-Information is useless unless you can do something with it.
