Translating Facts Into Knowledge

 an article by Soraya Umewaka published in Mind, Brain, and Education Volume 5 Issue 1 (March 2011)

Abstract

Many education systems have a tendency to be limiting and rigid. These systems teach children to value facts over knowledge and routine and repetition over playfulness and curiosity to seek knowledge. How can we unleash our children's imagination and permit them to use play and other creative tools as a means of learning? This article proposes new ways to tackle this old problem.

I  tried, really tried, to find a copy of the full article which would not require you to part with money and I have finally succeeded.
