An educational approach obsessed with knowledge(or long term memory) for measurement's sake misses the point entirely.
"When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure"
(Goodhartβs Law)
"Learning should be seen as a qualitative change in a person's way of seeing, experiencing, understanding, conceptualizing something in the real world - rather than as a quantitative change in the amount of knowledge someone possesses."
-Paul Ramsden (Australian educator)
