please tell me the theory of "Learning by doing" issued by Aral in brief.?

Question

"Aral?" who got the Nobel Prize in 1962. he tells the mechanism of learning activity. everytime you get the new knowledge will save 1/3 tiem than last time. anybody can tell me more information about his theory?

Answer 1

I found some info on Learning by Doing, but not from "Aral." I tried to find something about him/her, but even searching 1962 nobel prize winners didn't reveal anything on Aral.

The discussion linked below talks about how learning by doing helps students learn the subject of Statistics. Gary Smith of Pomona College was a Statistics Professor in 1998 and published the document. He says Students learned the subject better by doing statistics, designing, collecting data, analyzing and presenting the findings.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your e-mail clarifying that the Nobel winner was Arrow. Kenneth J. Arrow won the prize in 1972. Amazon has a book called "Learning from 'Learning by Doing': Lessons for Economic Growth (The Kenneth J. Arrow Lectures) List Price $18.95. It may not have the Learning by Doing papers or lectures in total, but I'm sure plenty of references can be found. This book about the paper may be available in libraries. It is published by Stanford University Press, April 1997.

The paper was called "The Economic Implications of Learning by doing." from 1962.
