that practice is better than theory.....provide as many arguments, examples, and sources as many as possible...

What for.....everyone one knows that practice is the only way to  prove a theory scientifically.

Its beautiful, its elegant and it  holds promise. Its true that its some what stagnant in last few years but that doesn't mean we should start disbelieving it. If you cannot test something  experimentally that does not mean that it is incorrect.  You can refute something straight away only when you have proved it to be wrong.  While  thinking about a theory of everything, we must always keep a open mind. We should also for similar reasons give heed to other attempts towards a theory of everything.

Thorough knowledge is an added advantage but if a teacher is not sincere for his work or not dedicated to his proffession then he's not worthed. a teacher should always be approachable for kids.

Do the experiment.  You might learn something.

A hypothesis- It doesnt become theory until a very large amount of data is collected to support it, and the hypothesis is generally accepted by experts in the field.  It takes a lot more than just an experiment or two for a scientific hypothesis to be raised to a theory.

I had a professor who was always very adamant that you could not prove the hypothesis. Something about you don't actually test the hypothesis, you test the question....or somehting. He was very odd. I think there's a difference between a hypothesis and fact.

You should study teaching.

I think there are better places than this to find this answer... maybe in your management theory book?

Buying more expensive recipes makes someone a better cook? Not necessarily.\n\nYou hit part of the equation of self-improvement in the part of your statement about basketball. To get better at a skill, practice of proper technique can be invaluable.\n\nI have some problems with the nature of your final question, though. First of all, I seldom see the value of intellectualism as a competitive sport. I think the true value of knowledge and understanding comes from constantly trying to improve one's self, not from trying to be better than "that person" or "this person". Not to mention that your hypothetical "person who knows EVERYTHING" doesn't exist.\n\nAlso, I think you're confusing two separate things to equate "being smarter" with "knowing more". It's a common misconception - that the acquisition and recitation of facts are somehow indicators of intelligence. After all, most of us think the people on "Jeopardy!" to be quite smart, no?\n\nThe two are not so closely linked, though. People can learn massive amounts of information, but lack an ability to critically analyze that information. That case would mark a person as the flesh and blood equivalent of an encyclopedia. Useful for attaining bits of information, sure - but you wouldn't ask the Encylcopedia Britannica to make a decision for you.\n\nOf course, there is some correlation. People inclined towards critical analysis tend to desire a more in-depth understanding of issues and situations, and so *may* be better informed as to the complexities of a topic. Just thought it was necessary to point out that these are two different things.\n\nSo, what's your goal? Is it to know more facts about a topic or series of topics than another person? In that case, pick your topics, find some reliable books of reference, and start reading. Take notes if that's your style, develop some memory mnemonics if they help you remember, et cetera. But I would suggest that this is not a very rewarding endeavor, by itself.\n\nIf your actual question is about critical thinking skill - if you want to enhance your ability to examine situations, make decisions, etc. . my suggestion would be to focus on understanding the nature of logical analysis and critical thinking. These topics aren't touched on nearly enough in American education - I don't know where you are from, but my (limited) knowledge tells me this is true in most educational systems.\n\nLook for books in your local library or bookstore - or just do a little bit of internet research - on critical thinking and logical analysis. There's a wealth of material out there that explicitly details the structure of argument, logical deduction, and so on.\n\nFor interpersonal debate, I find a study of logical fallacies to be invaluable. One of my favorite books on this subject - although by no means authoritative - is called "Attacking Faulty Reasoning", if you're interested. There are, however, plenty of free resources out there on this topic as well.\n\nHope this helps. Learn, try to understand, practice analytical skills - it's not all that different from learning to play basketball.

Most of the time most of us learn best from each other.  We all benefit from a variety of learning environments.  I would not consider the type of learning situation you describe the best option all of the time - it may be a good option for a part of the day for very specific instruction.   We all do well in some areas and not so well in others.

When used correctly, technology media are very effective as reinforcers for near-mastery material, introducing discussion topics, etc.\n\nMost people learn best when presented information repeatedly, in a variety of formats.

I think it's a good idea for students to see both (I'll call them "theories")  Use a comparison: Are students exposed to the writing style of Shakespeare only? Or, are they exposed to many writers?  If Ford was the only car offered for sale, how would a person know the points of other cars? The saying goes that "competition is healthy." Why not show more than one theory and let the student decide?

Give me a better example and I may be able to help.:)

You do an experiment a lot and find that if shows the same thing every time, then you hand it over to other scientists and let them do the same thing until it beomes a theory. Then you continue doing that for a couple of years until if is shown that in all probability whatver you are trying to prove is true in all included cases and you have a law.

Most people don't simply believe theories.........they just acknowledge them as a possible reason or explanation.\n\nIt's called having an open mind.
