Of course, we can not say that Pedagogy practice is outdated. The reason is that we need to know what to learn before we learn how to learn. Like I am now in IT industry which is a competitive field. There will be a new programming language that I might need to look into in every 3 years. so, to say that I want to master only 1 programming language and make a living out of it is impossible. When I was in University, I always asked people about what is the ONE programming language that I should be very good at it. I found the best answer by someone from the Internet. He told me: "Information Technology is an ever-changing field, learn how to learn is a skill itself. You should master the skill of learning how to learn, instead of learning what to learn." Hi Paul,
