The biggest pitfall we’ve seen teachers fall into with conceptual teaching is “covering” the concept by telling kids what the relationship between two concepts is.
uncover a relationship and practise transfer
Here’s the tricky part about transfer: It’s easy to get sucked into topical extensions rather than conceptual transfer. (比如,19世纪妇女运动学完要求回答迄今妇女运动所取得的成果——只使用了话题和事实,没有使用概念 Movements for change inevitably challenge the existing power structure.,学生既可以使用这个概括,也可以使用技能找出反映改概念的例子)
