  While some rules as strategies help, students need to develop a greater understanding of why and how when it comes to learning.

These two students have learned all the rules that you seek to teach them, and they do not understand decimals at all.

A blog post where some math educators point out problems in videos from Khan Academy. A great illustration of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK). The idea that there is a special type of knowledge that accrues from knowing how best to teach a particular content/subject areas.

shared by Tassia Yeo on 05 Apr 15 - No Cached

Teaching strategies Activity 1: Using folding to test for lines of symmetry is a hands-on activity that allows students to explore the meaning of the concept 'line of symmetry'. Activity 2: Identifying lines of symmetry is a diagnostic resource sheet that allows teachers to identify if students have misconceptions. It can also be used as a source of ideas for the range of examples that should be presented to students. Activity 3: Symmetry in the environment allows students to relate ideas about symmetry to real-world examples. Activity 4: Silly faces uses computer software to create pictures that reveal how symmetrical we are.

evidence lectures

shared by djplaner on 22 Feb 15 - No Cached

As learning gains are predicted by study hours, not by class hours, this argument would hold up only if lectures were good at increasing the former and they are not: indeed, the more lectures there are, the fewer learning hours each generates.
...

Cancel
There are alternatives to lecturing that have a much better record of generating learning hours, and some cost nothing. The only potential problem is that they may require more effort from students

Short article covering some of the research about the limitations of lectures. For example, "For some educational goals, no alternative has ever been discovered that is less effective than lecturing, including, in some cases, no teaching at all" But also making the broader point that research has yet to effectively explore all of the possible applications of lectures. An example of evidence that can be used to guide pedagogical decision making.

An interesting article particularly comments made on study hours. My thoughts are that some learners do gain the most out of independent study and / or reading information whereas others achieve most in class listening to lectures... I don't agree that there is a 'one size fits all' approach rather that teaching should be delivered in multiple ways so as to meet the learning needs of a diverse student cohort.

The Myth of Learning Styles - 3 views

learningstyles myths

shared by djplaner on 23 Feb 15 - No Cached

So in claiming that learning styles do not exist, we are not saying that all learners are the same. Rather, we assert that a certain number of dimensions (ability, background knowledge, interest) vary from person to person and are known to affect learning. The emphasis on learning styles, we think, often comes at the cost of attention to these other important dimensions.
...

However, when these tendencies are put to the test under controlled conditions, they make no difference—learning is equivalent whether students learn in the preferred mode or not. A favorite mode of presentation (e.g., visual, auditory, or kinesthetic) often reveals itself to be instead a preference for tasks for which one has high ability and at which one feels successful.
...

Cancel
However, in order to persuade us to devote the time and energy to adopt a certain kind of differentiated teaching, the burden of proof is on those who argue for the existence of that description of students' cognitive strategies

a good rule of thumb is that we should only bring ideas from the laboratory into our teaching if (1) we are sure that the laboratory phenomena exist under at least some conditions and (2) we understand how to usefully apply these laboratory phenomena to instruction

  This is so true when teaching SWDs, by bringing the information to them and teaching them how to use it, opens a world of information and development for each student individually. By teaching special needs, it is imperative for the teacher to be open minded to all that is afforded them within the education system.

Very interesting theory I had not considered or heard of. I do believe a lot of the time students are set up to fail in the "test" environment. However I need to do some more research as I'm wondering about the basics of literacy and numeracy and how this all fits together. I can see huge benefits for special needs, and like he says, we all have "special needs" in certain areas.

  This resource is excellent as a method of formative assessment or as a teaching strategy in the classroom to track students progress. Students are able to answer various questions, and through this identify and reflect on how well their learning is going within a topic. I will probably blog about this in my assignment as it is an excellent resource that I've used before.
