Feynman Problem-Solving Algorithm

Why’ is the question to gain understanding. 

Don’t stop thinking: Ask questions, challenge orthodox thinking and be curious. Thinking like a scientist sounds an ideal approach for nursing education for a dynamic, critical thinking and evidence based curriculum. Feynman provides an energy and enthusiasm for teaching, and breaks down complex topics into relevant and meaningful content.

“Feynman opposed rote learning or unthinking memorization and other teaching methods that emphasized form over function”
