Abstract
Advocates of insightful learning are often accused of being soft on training. Rather than against training, my objection to drill is that it endangers retention of insight. There is, however a way of training – including memorization – where every little step adds something to the treasure of insight: training integrated with insightful learning. (Freudenthal, 1991, p. 114)
