This phenomenon - of the difficulty of being able to teach something once it is obvious to you - has the rather unfortunate name - "the curse of knowledge", and it is well documented based on research in other fields too. There is a good discussion about it here : http://37signals.com/svn/posts/213-the-curse-of-knowledge http://37signals.com/svn/posts/213-the-curse-of-knowledge
- sopooneo 14y agoWhen I was teaching I found that you have to learn the subject, then you have to learn to teach the subject. In a pinch some teachers do both at the same time, and as long as they are bright and it is not an advanced level class, this can actually work better.
