Wolfgang Puck Quotes

Kids can learn a lot by seeing things rather than reading it.

Like all great teachers he knew that a picture is worth a thousand words and that people learn most quickly by doing something or seeing something done.

People learn more if they're learning in directly engaging ways.

People vary enormously in how they learn. Some learn through their eyes - by reading but also by responding to all kinds of visual information. Others learn mostly through their ears or touch or other senses.

You can learn by listening, or by getting whacked between the eyes with a two-by-four. I always found listening easier.

People learn in different ways: reading, listening, pictures, watching.

We all learn best in our own ways. Some people do better studying one subject at a time, while some do better studying three things at once. Some people do best studying in structured, linear way, while others do best jumping around, surrounding a subject rather than traversing it. Some people prefer to learn by manipulating models, and others by reading.

The best way to learn is live, in person, cooking, feeling, smelling and tasting, but TV is the second-best thing to that; it's a halfway facsimile.

When you're too robotic and scripted, the students tune you out. So I always tried to use different learning modalities - kinesthetic, auditory, visual, whatever might bring learning to life.

I'm a guy that, I like to learn by seeing things.

I've always been a very observant person, a visual person. That's my way of learning. Things on paper, notes and things like that, don't help me the same way as watching things live.

There is a certain amount you can learn from reading, but you also need to see and experience things.

I think the best learning is done with active manipulation. And we need to be able to work with our hands; it's not just about using our brains.

What you hear, you forget; what you see, you remember; what you do, you understand.

Seeing and playing with physical objects can enable access to symbolic ideas. When I studied physics and math at university it was all done through equations and textbooks whereas artists go to art school and start making stuff; they fling paint at the walls, they dance and bash things together with giant bits of metal. Our society has come to think of science as being a very abstractified thing, and art as being a materialized thing.

The educative value of manual activities and of laboratory exercises, as well as of play, depends upon the extent in which they aid in bringing about a sensing of the meaning of what is going on. In effect, if not in name, they are dramatizations.

You know, I want to teach, but I don’t want to read?

Learning by doing, peer-to-peer teaching, and computer simulation are all part of the same equation.
