My goal in writing this article is to help faculty, administrators, and college/university support staff to better understand who open faculty are and why they make the choices they make. The model presented here is my best attempt to map out the open faculty mindset (both analog and digital). My hope is that some enterprising graduate students and/or faculty members will take up a more academic research project to see if this model holds for a large sample of faculty. And if they do conduct this research, I hope they will openly share their findings as they progress.
The Singapore Model Method is a pedagogical strategy that was developed by a team of curriculum specialists in the Singapore Ministry of Education in the early 1980's to address the issue of students having difficulty with word problems in early years of school. It has since become a distinguishing feature of the Singapore primary mathematics curriculum.
Using this method, students represent the information in the problem pictorially using bars to represent numbers. The model show explicitly the problem structure, the known and unknown quantities, and provides a visual tool that enables students to determine what operations to use to solve the word problems.
Skrivehjulet er en modell som skal synliggjøre sentrale dimensjoner ved elevers skriving. Modellen er utformet som et hjul bestående av flere sirkler. Dette viser at de ulike skrivekompetanser og skrivehandlinger kan kombineres etter behov alt etter formålet med skrivingen. Skrivehjulet kan brukes som utgangspunkt for refleksjon rundt planlegging, gjennomføring og vurdering av skriveundervisning.
The Molecular Workbench (MW) is a free, open-source tool that delivers visual, interactive simulations for teaching and learning science and engineering.
The page is scaled so that the smallest thing on it, the electron, is one pixel. That makes the proton, this big ball right next to us, a thousand pixels across, and the distance between them is... yep, fifty million pixels (not a hundred million, because we're only showing the radius of the atom. ie: from the middle to the edge).
