Getting It Wrong: Surprising Tips on How to Learn: Scientific American - 0 views

      This doesn't address the concern that when you learn/recall something incorrectly and aren't aware of it you can have a hard time unlearning the information. The wrong association can be hard to change. I find this all the time with worldview misinformation. For instance, if a student thinks that only 50% of the population in Minnesota is white, or that 25% of the world's population comes from North America, it is hard to change that mind-set even with ongoing sets of discrepant information.

TCRecord: Article - 0 views

  • Another study found that at-risk students increased their social studies knowledge more when developing multimedia products than when receiving an additional week of instruction on the same content
  • Studies have shown that low-performing students are much more likely to be provided with opportunities to use computer-based technology for skill-building and drill and practice type activities. High-performing students, on the other hand, use technology for higher-order thinking activities such as data analysis and multimedia presentation
  • Teachers found that technology played an important role in identifying students’ instructional needs and helping them differentiate instruction to meet those needs. This showed up primarily in two ways: the open-ended nature of technology productivity software; and the ability of some technology programs to diagnose problems and provide targeted instruction in those areas

  • Researchers have agreed that this is an important role for technology, arguing that computer-based instruction “individualizes the educational process to accommodate . . . the student”

    Research design and assumptions clearly articulated here.

Bridging Differences: Should Teacher Evaluation Depend on Student Test Scores? - 0 views

  •  
    I don't agree that we can't make these correlations between student performances on tests and teacher effectiveness. But I do wonder what would happen to the children. If I am going to make another $5000 a year if my students all move X distance in a year, how much more inclined am I going to be to add lots and lots of homework in my content area to their workload? We might end up like Japan with a very high teenage suicide rate from all the pressure to perform at a young age. Where is the middle ground? Some schools reward grade levels, if all the students in ninth grade do x, everyone who taught them gets y. Makes more sense, but doesn't address the teacher competency test.

  • Understand the four types of homework. Know when and why to have students practice: Memorization of basic rules, algorithms, or laws so the skill becomes rote. Increase in skill speed, used for improving students' abilities to apply these skills in more complex problem solving. Deepening understanding of a concept—providing students time to read further, elaborating on a new idea and expanding their understanding. Preparation for the following day's learning, such as an advance organizer or cue to increase readiness for new information.
  • Practice means students are engaged in applying new learning, often repeatedly

    Reinforcement as it applies to homework.
