What it looks like: "Teachers use structured classroom discussions and writing assignments to help students extend their learning. They use project-based learning and complex or heuristic problem-solving assignments to help students integrate and apply new knowledge in novel situations. Such assignments do not replace but, rather, build on content knowledge."
Why it is important: "When students do not have opportunities to extend and apply what they have learned, their new knowledge tends to fade from memory. The ability to solve complex problems or heuristic tasks is prized in the work world and by students, who are more engaged when given opportunities to learn through real-world application."
(Goodwin & Hubbell, pg. 198)
