Unlearning - The Hardest Part of Law School

Speaker(s): 
Deb Cohen

No one arrives at law school with a clean slate; everyone comes with prior knowledge. This is important because constructivist learning theory indicates that we build on our existing knowledge.

 

When the prior knowledge is accurate and complete, it facilitates learning; however when it is incomplete, inaccurate or inappropriate for this new context, it can hinder learning.
