How did Dickinson and O'Connell define "organizing"? Give specific examples of how you can use this approach in your classes
What will be an ideal response?
Dickinson and O'Connell talked about the mental process of organizing. They included the following tasks in their definition:
• Using your own words to describe concepts
• Finding links or connections between concepts
• Finding the hierarchical structure of the concepts
• Creating examples of concepts
As a student, I can take the notes I took during class and create concept maps. These concepts maps can show hierarchical structure as well as links between concepts. When I take notes while reading, I can put the information into my own words and create personally meaningful examples.
