So, to be precise: teachers do not implant knowledge in their students. They, a best, induce it. And this process of induction depends as much, if not more, on the nature of the student, as on the nature of the influence.
Lengthy response to Downes' presentation summarizing criticisms of the Kirschner et al paper on "minimally guided instruction." There's some inaccuracies in this response, which Downes addresses in his comment. The author doesn't see that instructivist and constructivist teaching methods really differ from each other.
