Teaching Philosophy: Investigative Learning

Hitesh advocates for a specific pedagogy called “Investigative Learning”:

• Questioning: Every line of code and every output is questioned rather than accepted at face value.
• Pacing: A “laid-back” style that prioritizes brain processing time over rapid content consumption.
• Storytelling: Uses narratives to build “secondary storage” (long-term memory) in students.
