| Knowledge is not received, but constructed. Learning is not a linear accumulation of data, but a series of micro-revolutions. A micro-revolution is defined as replacing old, preexistent models of reality with new, “better” models. ‘Arts and media' students have different preexistent models than, for example, science major or premedical students. As a result, we need a different approach to make them shift towards new, scientific models. It takes creative stunts to push them over the first stage, when the existence of an anomaly within the old model is denied. However, once past this stage, they need to be supported throughout the second stage, the crisis, when they feel that nothing makes sense anymore. Finally, the students need to be grounded in the newly discovered model through life-related examples. Using cartoons and diagrams, the poster presents the journey of the ‘arts and media' student through their personal intellectual micro-revolution. |
