My last conversation for the project was with a faculty member at the University of Victoria. It was a lecture that this faculty member gave on Conceptual vs Procedural understanding that prompted this project in the first place. In my conversation with the faculty member, she explained that there is much literature on the theory that conceptual understanding (i.e. concept mastery) is better retained than procedural understanding and she directed me to Deborah Ball and Jo Boaler who are leaders in the field. She also shared a story with me that a student teacher she was supervising was trying to promote conceptual understanding before teaching the students the procedural steps but there was backlash from the students. She explained that the students just wanted to the steps to memorize to answer the questions because it was quick and easy. The issue with quick and easy though is that it is quickly and easily forgotten.
