Abstract
In this article, the author allows Robert B. Davis to state for himself his own Principles concerning how children learn, and how teachers can best teach them. These principles are put forward in Davis’ own words along with detailed documentation. The author goes on compare Davis’ words with his practices. A single Davis video (Towers of Hanoi) is analyzed to determine if, and to what extent, his principles are evident in his teaching of this lesson.
► Davis clearly states his principles in his writings. ► He has definite principles concerning how children learn. ► He has equally definite principles about how teachers should teach them. ► Davis successfully models these principles, as “practices,” in a filmed lesson.
