These days many students are busy testing for admission to various universities. Unfortunately, it is the first step in a career that will bring them in many cases the destruction of their ability to solve problems. At the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, however, are trying to reverse the trend. But let's see, first of all, to understand something with a story.

A Clare liked both. And both, Gian Maria and Antoine, like Clare. But she could not decide. One night, staring at all the three stars on your back on a terrace. "I'll give a kiss to those who know how to recognize constellations most among all these stars," said Clare. A Gian Maria did not seem true because, as a great astronomer as he was, had the match won too easily. Therefore, without began to hesitate to say: "You see that at long? It 's the constellation Andromeda the Princess. It' s that the quadrilateral of stars? E 'Hercules. That big W, however, is Cassiopeia ..." and continued by listing all the constellations so that he saw because he knew them all. Antoine listened to and for the first time he was able to recognize constellations he had heard about but was unable to locate. So there was no hope for him to receive the kiss of Clare. But she turned to him and asked: "And you do not show me any constellation?". "Of course you do," said Antoine. "See those stars that form as a horse with its nose, tail and legs and a figure on it with a skirt? And 'the constellation of Sissi . And those other stars that form as a fishing rod having harpooned a shape reminiscent of a hat? E 'hat Franz. And those other stars in the shape of the bouquet, the flowers are offered in Sissi ...". A Clare began to shine your eyes when Gian Maria interrupted them: "Ok, we understand that you are good to make up the constellations. But the kiss for me that I recognized most of the constellations you Antoine. "But he had not yet finished speaking that Clare had just started kissing Antoine. Then he turned to Gian Maria and said," You're wrong, because he has won Listening to you has learned you know that you recognize the constellations, then added others that it was invented by connecting the stars as they see fit. "

more you know unless you know the Tao says. The more knowledge you have, the more our knowledge is crystallized. The more things and we know we can not solve a problem. The more we know instead link the data available, an unusual and hitherto unknown more chances we have to cope with matters that seem incomprehensible to the top. The test of school these days for admission to various faculties but unfortunately a limited number are inspired by a notional logic. Not all, fortunately. At the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan have a different choice. To access the Faculty of Medicine have focused on problem solving . In what way? Out of 100 questions:

• 50 concerns the logic
• 10 questions the solution of problems in biology;
• 10 in mathematics;
• 10 in physical
• 10 in chemistry;
• 10 general culture.

A beautiful and courageous choice that we hope will be followed by other universities soon. But it is a first step because the next and final test is the abandonment of that does not really work. "The tests that require only to have the memory or recognition may be appropriate to evaluate the 'rote learning but can not see how and to what extent the conceptual frameworks have been created or modified by the student, "writes Joseph Novak in meaningful learning (Erickson). And these skills can be developed only through and check concept maps.
