Let's take the character for an example: although he lives in the environment full of information, he doesn't know how to do with these information, never mind to make full use of the information. That is the result of no purpose. So when teachers wish students to master what they taught, they should first let them know the learning purpose, rather than stay at the wish level, and then  the students will know what and how to do with various resources provided, or the wishes will only be be wishes and will not reach satisfying effect (the relation between purpose and wishes).

Q2: For example, the teachers hope students to master new knowledge and apply it to real life. This is expectation. However, in order to realize their expectations, they need set a clear purpose, then it will be easier for them to realize their expectations, for students will be clear about what to do and learn more if they know the purpose. Besides, the teachers should consider students' different learning levels when they set learning purpose, only in this way can the students reach the most appropriate level and meet the expectation.

They can also connect the new knowledge with what they have known, which help them to understand and remember them easily. 15811205852 https://padlet.com/sueh4/purposefulch1/wish/158243681 2017-03-07 06:57:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sueh4/purposefulch1/wish/158243681
