Paulo Freire | Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy - 0 views

shared by gracejohn2021 on 22 Sep 21 - No Cached
  • To promote democratic interactions between people, Freire suggests that teachers problematize the issue being discussed.  When issues or questions are problematized by teachers who work through critical pedagogy, readily made answers are not available.  Students realize that although some questions do have clear-cut answers, many of our deeper questions do not have obvious answers.  When students learn that teachers are human beings just as everyone else, and that teachers do not know everything but that they are also learners, students then feel more confident in their own search for answers and more comfortable to critically raise questions of their own.  The banking method denies the need for dialogue because it assumes that the teacher is the one who possesses all the answers and the students are ignorant and in need of the teachers’ knowledge. In order to problematize a subject, the teacher assumes a humble and open attitude.

  • Explore the notion of perspective taking and how it leads to empathy. Ask students, Why is it important both at an individual and a more global level to understand and respect each other’s experiences? (People’s experiences inform their viewpoints.) Have students brainstorm other ways a person can use to become more aware of how another person is feeling, thinking, or behaving and why such insights are important.

      7I support and expand learner expression in speaking, writing, and other media
  • After discussing some of the core skills that are needed to be empathetic, present students with their assignment as well as a rubric. Ask them to choose a folk or fairy tale or myth and rewrite it from the perspective of a different character. (They can choose a hero or heroine, but it may be easier to choose the villain.) How would a more empathetic understanding of the character change the narrative? How would it affect the meaning of the story?

Curriculum Development for Gifted Students | Study.com - 0 views

  • Increasing Depth, Complexity, and RigorAnother way to develop curriculum for gifted learners is to incorporate greater depth, complexity, and rigor. You can achieve this through a variety of strategies. One simple method is to provide students with questions requiring a higher level of critical thinking. Discussion groups, such as Socratic seminars and fishbowl discussions, in which students explore such questions are particularly effective--you can ask your students to paraphrase their peers' responses and then add on or pose other questions.

What Makes a Family? | Learning for Justice - 1 views

  • small group, ask students to brainstorm
    • ashleydoucette91
       
      This is an example of 3G - "use a student's thinking and experiences as a resource in planning instructional activities by encouraging discussion, listening and responding to group interaction, and eliciting oral, written, and other samples of student thinking." Grouping the students in pairs or small groups allows for more time and for students to be comfortable sharing their thinking and experiences with one another. This elicits students to share their own thoughts.
  • Have them describe different family make-ups
    • ashleydoucette91
       
      This is another example of 3G. Students will be most likely to talk about what they have at home first. By eliciting students share with one another, they bring new experiences to the discussion.
  • Ask students what a biography is
    • ashleydoucette91
       
      This is an example of 4E. - "understand how a student's learning is influenced by individual experiences, talents, and prior learning, as well as language, culture, family, and community values" Students knowledge of what a biography is will be influenced by their previous knowledge.

  • students work with a small team to give an oral presentation
    • ashleydoucette91
       
      An example of 7I. - "support and expand learner expression in speaking, writing, and other media" Having small student teams give an oral presentation about what they learned shows how they have expanded their learning. Prompting them to think about new things they learned and built upon previous knowledge. Speaking for a presentation is an appropriate medium for this.

    • ashleydoucette91
       
      Another example of 7I. Allowing the students to create a visual representation to support and expand all students' knowledge.
