Pronunciation:
The word "schema" is pronounced as "SKEE-muh".
Meaning and Origin:
The term "schema" comes from Greek, where it means "form" or "shape." In educational psychology and cognitive science, a schema is a mental structure that helps individuals organize and interpret information. Schemas are essential in understanding how people learn and process new information by fitting it into pre-existing mental frameworks.
How It Relates to Our Teaching Methodology:
In our "Tango Schema" classes, we use the concept of schema to help students build a structured understanding of tango. Just like schemas help organize knowledge in the brain, our teaching methodology focuses on breaking down complex tango techniques and patterns into manageable, learnable chunks. This approach allows students to progressively build their skills and integrate new movements into their existing knowledge base, leading to a deeper and more intuitive understanding of tango.
By using the term "schema," we emphasize our commitment to structured, systematic, and effective teaching methods that cater to the cognitive processes involved in learning and mastering tango.
