Baby Has A Persistent Dry Cough

class times and the cone of learning.


I met him in Blog Javier Megias and I did not miss the opportunity to save here. Watching it makes me a comment. I leave here.

remember what we learn.
From a standpoint of teaching effectiveness, in the same proportion as an activity helps us to learn, we will implement it in class. A more effective activities, more time investment. Perhaps, also, more dedication, more solidly learned task.

With this reasoning, if we make a simple mathematical relationship between the times that we must invest in teaching certain skills in the classroom with the capacity to produce the skill is learning that Dale Edgar is in the upper triangle, we obtain a time distribution graph more or less like this:


  • 33% time we spend on class taught by the pure activity (experiencing, manipulate - experiment).
  • 25% of class time we invest in teaching through a participatory activity-responsive (say, debate - discuss).
  • 18% of class time we invest in teaching through a visual activity. (See-listen-comment).
  • 12% of class time we invest in teaching through reflective observation.
  • 8% of class time we invest in teaching through active listening.
  • 4% of class time must be invested in teaching reading comprehension.

Well. If the math does not fail ...
