"Learn, do, teach"

“Learn, do, teach” is one way that the learning process is made. “The ‘learn-do-teach’ cycle” was cited in print in 1977. It’s not known who originated the term.

“Learn, earn, serve” is an older and similar term.

Brain-Based Early Learning Activities:
Connecting Theory and Practice
By Nikki Darling-Kuria
St. Paul, MN: Redleaf Press
2010
Pp. 46-47:
In fact, I am really using another one of my favorite strategies during this time: “Learn, do, teach.”

When a child learns to do something, “the thing” is introduced as an idea. Then if the child is allowed to do “the thing,” the idea begins to form a neural connection. When a child then turns around and teaches another child “the thing,” the connection is made.
