I teach nursing. In this program, students cannot simply regurgitate material presented in class. They must be able to sucessfully demonstrate the knowledge as well. As an example - defibrillation (the apllication of a shock to the chest wall to attempt to discontinue a letal irregular heart beat.) Students can learn about defib, but until they actually apply the paddles to a person's chest who is in arrest, then the learning is truly multi-dimensional.
What did K. Lewin say about "doing is learning??!!"
