Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Organization
Developing intrinsic organization after laying the foundation of extrinsic I think could be revolutionary in education. Beginning the class focusing on the concept and then taking the foundation and seeing how and where it when we give them a problem to solve or ask them to solve a problem with the information/education just presented. The cool thing is going to be all the different problems and solutions that are going to arise based on the sheer definition of intrinsic: belonging to the basic nature of someone or something. Which means potentially you could have five different problems and solutions like 4360 because the information reaches people at different levels because of demographics. The problems and solutions could have a wide scope because we are all coming from a different place. This lends itself to the idea that we could solve more problems.
You will never be able to take the concepts out of the classroom but focusing education on problems and not fact only needs could begin the process of using our education and not wasting it.
Which brings me to my last point. If you do research on a problem that you have learned about via the concept in the classroom. You not only are going to retain more of the information but you are going to begin writing your own thesis/dissertation and become a little expert on the initial concept. This idea teaches critical thinking, problem solving and most importantly understanding moves us away from memorization. This also makes the classroom fun, challenging and personal so you would gain more students time and attention thus better educating our youth. Huge!
