Dimostrazione

I found chapter two (Dimostrazione) to be very interesting. Thinking about what I believe and stating why I have those beliefs was challenging. I took a break from reading & answering questions, while I went about doing other tasks I was thinking about how difficult it really is to think about your own thinking (meta cognition). As educators we are constantly expecting our students to reflect upon their own decisions and share why they think or feel a certain way. I started questioning myself, thinking from a different point of view as Leonardo did, and wondering what it would feel like to do this as a young child. Am I asking to much of my students to explain their thinking when they are only eight & nine years old, if I struggle doing it myself?
