    "While it's true that most people in math class don't learn much math, most kids in French class don't learn much French. But, we don't say that they are not "French-ly minded." We don't say that they don't have a head for French because we know that if they grew-up in France, they would learn French perfectly well. And I think that my image of learning mathematics is that if we all learned mathematics in "Mathland," we would all learn mathematics perfectly well. "

  • David Heckman, a mathematician, was accustomed to lecturing to the class, but he had to take on the role of a roving mentor, responding to raised hands and coaching students when they got stumped

  • more efficient way to shepherd students through basic general-education requirements—particularly those courses, such as college math, that disproportionately cause students to drop out
  • That fall, with little debate or warning, it placed 4,700 students into computerized math courses. Last year some 50 instructors coached 7,600 Arizona State students through three entry-level math courses running on Knewton software. By the fall of 2014 ASU aims to adapt six more courses, adding another 19,000 students a year to the adaptive-learning ranks.

A Conceptual approach to Big Understandings and Mathematical Confidence - The Learner's... - 15 views

  •  
    This traditional pedagogy results in students developing a negative attitude towards mathematics. Many develop a mathematical phobia and believe that they are not a "maths person". When confronted by challenging mathematics they retreat and have no or only poor strategies with which to approach new ideas. This all leads to a decline in the number of students pursuing mathematical learning beyond the years where it is compulsory. Fortunately there is a growing body of research that shows there is a better way.

    • Ben Rimes
       
      This is more than just an important point, it's the essential point that needs to be driven home to new Flipped Class learners.
  • the model is not about the videos, but about the learning.
  • Good instruction, especially for math concepts, requires that ideas be presented in a number of ways

  • Our students just don't have the access required for the model to really work.
    • Seth Mitchell
       
      Equity is an important point, but flipped classrooms that don't give students the opportunity to access content during the day are just packaging old pedagogy in a dollar-store costume.

      In Chrome I cannot get this sticky to go away.  Why can't I change my settings to not view public notes? I am excited about this matrix and comparing it with Arizona's (AZTIM)

      The notes are not Public they are from Diigo Education, which is why they aren't going away.
