Robert made 10 correct and 4 incorrect statements. Of the correct statements 3 could possibly have been attributed to agreement with the other children, one to a hint, and another to a mistaken question. This leaves 9 instances without reasons in which he was correct 5 times and incorrect 4 times. Becky and Robert played the card game in different groups. Discussion From the perspective of implicit learning, children acquire implicitly a great deal of the knowledge that they bring to school.
Children acquire a vast amount of information from their environment at a very early age.
The critical issue is to address the pedagogical consequences of acknowledging implicit processes, particularly in the early stages of school instruction. One of the suggestions derived from the studies on implicit learning is to include more exposure to the variations and to spend less time on specific teaching of rules and formulas. Research in mathematics, science and language education has contributed to the discussion on implicit and explicit knowledge. Implicit knowledge generally means knowledge that is represented in the mind but of which we have no awareness. On the other hand, explicit knowledge is interpreted as consciously accessible knowledge.
