Teaching Nonfiction Reading Skills in the Science Classroom [ACTIVITY] | CTQ - 0 views

  •  
    "teach nonfiction reading skills in my sixth grade science classroom. Each lesson is tied directly to a standard in the Common Core Literacy in History, Science and Technical Subjects curriculum -- and each lesson is designed to be used in tandem with a current event connected to the concepts that our students study. If you like the lessons, all you'll need to do is find a current event to teach them with!"

The Science of Creativity in 2013: Looking Back to Look Forward | Moments of Genius | B... - 0 views

  •  
    IQ was a popular measurement but it did not capture the type of thinking that generated novel solutions to urgent predicaments. First, creativity is not equivalent to intelligence. Second, divergent thinking is central to the concept of creativity. Third, we can develop tests to measure divergent thinking skills. What is the relationship between creativity and intelligence? How do we measure creativity? And what, exactly, is creativity? undergrads were better at solving insight-based problems when they tested during their least optimal time participants who played a difficult working memory game known as the n-BACK task scored higher on tests of a fundamental cognitive ability known as fluid intelligence: the capacity to solve new problems, to make insights and see connections independent of previous knowledge. Cognitive flexibility, the ability to switch between thinking about two concepts or consider multiple perspectives simultaneously

Best, Worst Learning Tips: Flash Cards Are Good, Highlighting Is Bad | TIME.com - 0 views

  •  
    In a world as fast-changing and full of information as our own, every one of us - from schoolchildren to college students to working adults - needs to know how to learn well. Yet evidence suggests that most of us don't use the learning techniques that science has proved most effective. Worse, research finds that learning strategies we do commonly employ, like rereading and highlighting, are among the least effective

Study: It's not teacher, but method that matters | Teaching and Learning Excellence - 0 views

  •  
    ""It's really what's going on in the students' minds rather than who is instructing them," said lead researcher Carl Wieman of the University of British Columbia, who shared a Nobel physics prize in 2001. "This is clearly more effective learning. Everybody should be doing this. ... You're practicing bad teaching if you are not doing this." The study compared just two sections of physics classes for just one week, but Wieman said the technique would work for other sciences as well, and even for history."

Interview with Carl E. Wieman - Media Player at Nobelprize.org - 0 views

  •  
    "Carl Wieman talks about his change in career since being awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. Dr Wieman talks about how predicting the future success of students in his lab sparked a more general interest in people's learning behaviour (7:39), why education practices are failing students (15:32), and the changes he believes should be made (20:16). This led him to turn his attention from physics research to science education,"

How Children Succeed: Which matters more, cognitive ability or motivation? - 0 views

  •  
    A reminder on the power of motivation over IQ in learning and success. Plenty of research underpins the power of motivation in education, learning & success. Engagement, relevance, social connection & having a stake in outcomes (gamification) are just some of the factors that increase motivation & therefore learning. Grit, curiosity ,character ........
