Oh no. I have been falling SO behind in my blog! Projects, midterms and more projects. But of course that is no excuse for not blogging. :( Oh well. Here goes..

Week seven's lecture covered instructional strategies for Fact and Concept Learning. Fact Learning aka Declarative Knowledge aka Verbal Information is about "Knowing that.." It is a very basic stage which involves the most fundamental issue about just simply knowing a simple fact. For example, knowing that the mixture of red and yellow paint gives orange! :) Another example is knowing that the capital of Switzerland is BERN! :)

On the other hand, Concept Learning aka Intellectual Skill is more associated with "Knowing the meaning of .." Here, an example could be knowing the meaning of the concept "even numbers".
