      I don't think that's quite it. The professors understand the material, but have trouble conveying those understandings because they're so internalized. It's easy to explain individual facts but hard to convey the implicit framework that ties them together.

      Turning implicit knowledge into something explicit and articulable is difficult under the best of circumstances, and many professors don't even think of it as something that needs to be done. Much easier to work through problems in the book and get students to pass the test.

      That makes sense! Maybe another way of saying this is that the kind/degree of understanding required to teach material is greater than that required to use it fluently?

      And it seems that the kind/degree of understanding required to write a textbook with a novel structuring of the material is greater still. (I’m attempting this now…)

      The hardest part probably is the structure. When I think about linear algebra, I have a family of densely interconnected concepts to play with; but when I teach I have to explain one thing at a time. So I can't explain how I really think about it until the last week of class.

      stat mech was like that for me- felt like i was learning a bunch of random things until i studied for the final and realized everything was the same constrained optimization problem

      In a parallel life, I led a heroic reform movement that fixed STEM education and thereby saved the universe. In this life, I’m too old, so it’s your job

      To rain on this parade, I think people are making a universalist mistake -- assuming there's a correct central insight that could be communicated!

      Think of a subject as a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. There's no shortcut that lets you skip months or years of wandering around blind and lost, before you get a sense of the total structure.

      Or, to put it another way, the best textbook is always the second or third one you read. "Why didn't they say this FIRST?" Because if you'd read this one first, you wouldn't have understood it.

      hmm so "build a prototype; now throw it out and build the system you need the right way" generalizes to cognitive schemata
