## Discussion Questions

1\. What stood out to you from this week's reading? This might be key points, things that made sense in light of your own experience, things you're not convinced of, or questions that you have from each chapter.

#### Chapter 1: How Does Students' Prior Knowledge Affect Their Learning?
#### Chapter 2: How Does Students' Prior Knowledge Affect Their Learning?

2\. Give an example of a time from your experience when a learner's prior knowledge negatively affected their learning. Why do you think prior knowledge had
such an impact in this case? Do you think any of the strategies suggested in this chapter might have helped?

#### Appendix A
#### Appendix A: What Are Instructor Self-Assessments/Reflections and How Can We Use Them?

3\. Have a look at the [pre-assessment survey](https://carpentries.github.io/assessment-archives/instructor-training-pre/instructor-training-pre.html) for
Instructor Training events. Can you identify one question that might influence how you approach teaching, depending on the distribution of responses? If you
could ask one additional question, what would it be?

4\. Examine Figure 3.2 (p.72). How do these diagrams relate to knowledge or learner mental models that
you are familiar with? Which do you think best represents a learner who has just taken a Carpentries workshop?

5\. Take a look at the strategies for ways Instructors can assess and enhance their own knowledge organization at the end of Chapter 2 (p. 59-65). Choose one strategy and think about how an Instructor could apply it when preparing to teach a Carpentries workshop. On a scale from 1-10, how challenging do you think it would be for a new Instructor to use?

5\. This chapter discusses expert "blind spots" (now re-named in our curriculum as ["expert awareness gaps"](https://carpentries.github.io/instructor-training/04-expertise/index.html#expert-awareness-gap)) and cognitive load.
How might these affect learners during Instructor Training? How about Trainers?

2\. One of the learning objectives stated in the Instructor Training curriculum is: "Critically analyze a learning objective for your workshop." What level of
Bloom's taxonomy does this objective fall under? Examining the chart on p. 246, try re-writing this learning objective at a lower level and a higher level. Do you
