Knowledge is not a static thing; it is a continuously evolving process. What we know is inseparable from how we think. That is why education is not just the transfer of information, but the shaping of the mind itself—how we think, understand, and form conclusions.
For example, consider the “Water Cycle.” If a teacher simply explains that water evaporates, forms clouds, and then falls as rain, students may memorize the facts but not necessarily understand them.
However, if the lesson begins with a question like “Why does it rain? What would happen if it never rained?” and then involves students through observation, experiments, or an AI simulation before explaining the concept, the outcome changes completely.
In this approach, students do not just memorize information; they actively think, form connections, and develop real understanding.
This clearly shows that not only the content matters in learning, but also the sequence in which it is taught.
In short, changing the sequence does not just change the lesson—it changes the way we think, understand, and learn".
Thank you for your encouragement, Doctor Mahelet G Fikru . I truly appreciate it. Engaging with experts like you is a great learning opportunity, and I’m grateful to be part of these meaningful discussions.
Yasir, thank you for resonating and articulating the method so well. I love the way you brought up the “Water Cycle” STEM example. I recently shared a LinkedIn post about something similar on the sequence, especially focusing on the learner clarity gap in Education and EdTech. Would love to know your thoughts on it, whenever possible 😊
👌
Yep always make sure you know what the question is first!
💯💯💯
I love the map before machine, because I think AI has the tendency to make us lazy thinkers.
Thanks for engaging with this. We agree!
Thank you so much for resonating! And as AI continues to make us lazier, every year… pre-AI thinking frameworks will keep gaining traction. 🙌🧠🤖
