Sage on the Stage or Guide or the Side: Finding the Middle Ground - 1 views

  • White et al, argues that the belief systems of teachers form a barrier to new techniques and pedagogy. Moreover, they highlight research that indicates that the teaching style of individual teachers tends to reflect the “manner that they were taught during their own educational experiences (White et al, 2008, p. 41). As a result, White et al indicate that many teachers implement ideas based on their own experiences within a traditional, teacher-centred pedagogy.

    Enjoyed the video showing how technology can teach children in a fun and engaging way to learn but also requiring them to engage in real life problem solving, writing and reflection. Interesting how they chose to access the program from home too. That says a lot. I thought that this would be more middle years teaching. Do you think this could be used in Primary?

  • 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
