      This PDF relates to the pedagogical content knowledge to teach science and specifically physics. I like how it also touches on the need for teachers to understand effective assessment methods (primarily in science reports and inquiries). This information for year 11 and 12 is found in the syllabus, however, for year 10 9 8 and 7 we need to look at the verbs in the content descriptors and see what we actually want students to do by the end and make a judgement based on that.

  • In no education system around the world where I have worked has the introduction of new technologies made teachers less vital or central to the teaching and learning process. On the contrary: As dust settles after new equipment arrives in schools (and eventually begins to work, more or less), and the initial hype around the potential for quick 'transformational change' subsides, the role of the teacher is almost always more central, indeed fundamental, than it was before the introduction of technology.
  • New technologies can, and no doubt eventually will, replace many of the routine administrative tasks typically handled by teachers, like taking attendance, entering marks into a grading book, etc
  • Machines (perhaps even "teaching machines") may also handle some of the routine, low-end cognitive tasks (e.g. posing multiple-choice questions and grading tests) that teachers currently perform

    I like the way she describes her job- loves the kids but struggles with the job. This is interesting to me because I feel the same (don't know if it I for the same reasons) because I whole- heartedly believe in diversity and the individual child BUT I also know/ have seen how strict and institutionalised schools remain to be and this often gets in the way of the kind of teacher I thought I could be. It is interesting and worth thinking about though because I am sure we all want to help each child as much as we can but lack of time, resources and 'the halo effect' will get in the way at some point.

Matt Britland ICT Teacher

shared by pristine_crazy on 07 Mar 16 - No Cached
  • The future is about access, anywhere learning and collaboration, both locally and globally. Teaching and learning is going to be social. Schools of the future could have a traditional cohort of students, as well as online only students who live across the country or even the world. Things are already starting to move this way with the emergence of massive open online courses (MOOCs).

    Matt has opened my eyes to view how education can change by the use of the cloud. His perception seems futuristic, but may be fulfilled in the near future. I have highlighted some information that I found interesting for people to view.

  • Sometimes I wish technology was more integrated with learning at my school, but then I realize why it’s deliberately separated. There’s something great about getting a new book, cracking the spine, and flipping through the pages. With technology, everything is fleeting. You can read a book on your iPad while listening to Spotify, making a call, and checking Twitter. There’s a value in slowing down and being with the material you’re reading, free from the distractions of the outside world

Conceptual Change - Emerging Perspectives on Learning, Teaching and Technology - 1 views

  • Teaching for conceptual change primarily involves 1) uncovering students' preconceptions about a particular topic or phenomenon and 2) using various techniques to help students change their conceptual framework
  • However, outside of school, students develop strong (mis)conceptions about a wide range of concepts related to non-scientific domains, such as how the government works, principles of economics, the utility of mathematics, the reasons for the Civil Rights movement, the nature of the writing process, and the purpose of the electoral college
  • Conceptual change is not only relevant to teaching in the content areas, but it is also applicable to the professional development of teachers and administrators
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • In the early 1980's, a group of science education researchers and science philosophers at Cornell University developed a theory of conceptual change (Posner, Strike, Hewson, & Gertzog, 1982)
  • Researchers have found that learners' preconceptions can be extremely resilient and resistant to change,
  • Affective, social, and contextual factors also contribute to conceptual change. All of these factors must be considered in teaching or designing learning environments that foster conceptual change (Duit, 1999).
  • Teaching for conceptual change requires a constructivist approach in which learners take an active role in reorganizing their knowledge.
  • That is, learners must become dissatisfied with their current conceptions and accept an alternative notion as intelligible, plausible, and fruitfu
  • Nussbaum and Novick (1982): Reveal student preconceptions Discuss and evaluate preconceptions Create conceptual conflict with those preconceptions Encourage and guide conceptual restructuring

    Introduces the idea of conceptual change in the context of science. During week 1 of EDC3100 we will be looking at conceptual change as it applies to learning how to use an ICT.

  • It turns out that for most major scientific concepts, kids come into the classroom — even in middle school — with a whole set of beliefs that are commonly at odds with what scientists, and their science teachers, know to be true
  • you had to explain what causes the change in seasons, could you? Surprisingly, studies have shown that as many as 95 percent of people — including most college graduates — hold the incorrect belief
  • If teachers are to help students change their incorrect beliefs, they first need to know what those are
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Ultimately, Sadler said, he hopes teachers will be able to use the tests to help design lessons that change students’ incorrect ideas and help them learn science more quickly and easily.
  • One of the reasons for this is that teachers can be unaware of what is going on in their students’ heads, even though they may have had exactly the same ideas when they were students themselves. Knowledge of student misconceptions is a critical tool for science teachers
  • It ain’t what they don’t know that gives them trouble, it’s what they know that ain’t so

SAMR RATL models

shared by djplaner on 21 Feb 15 - No Cached
  • However the middle two levels of Augmentation and Modification are amorphous at best, at least when it is viewed from a classroom perspective.
  • to a classroom practitioner, the delineation may not be so clear. SAMR may function well as a model for researchers, but as a four point rubric for school districts, SAMR has been less effective than I had hoped.
  • In summary, SAMR gives educators poorly defined criteria while setting the goal at the very top of the framework.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Take note that the TARGET resides at level three, giving room for the student to excel

  • what is important in digital literacy is that we understand and teach “how to use technology, or relate to it, in ways that are productive and meaningful” (p. 144). As she says, if we ignore technology altogether, like Samuel’s limiters, or provide students with access to technology without guidance, as do enablers, we prevent them from developing a critical understanding of the role that technology plays in our culture, ultimately leaving them with no position from which to understand emerging technology other than fear or blind acceptance
  • Samuel reports that she has found some telling correlations in her data between these parenting approaches and children’s online behaviors, noting that “mentors are more likely than limiters to talk with their kids about how to use technology or the Internet responsibly,” while “among school-aged kids,” it is the “children of limiters who are most likely to engage in problematic behavior: they’re twice as likely as the children of mentors to access porn, or to post rude or hostile comments online; they’re also three times as likely to go online and impersonate a classmate, peer, or adult.”
