About EDUC115-S | Stanford Online - 9 views

  •  
    A free course from Stanford University focused on how to learn mathematics as a student. The ICT connection is how they use ICTs to teach this Massive Online Open Course (MOOC). But beyond this, the course might be useful for those of you slightly phobic of maths and beyond that I'm sure there will be some interesting pedagogical suggestions you could pick up for your own teaching.

What are ICTs?: Diversity - 3 views

      I love this idea. Even though it could be messy, it means that students have the flexibility to have their own and take care of their own devices, and also, students from low SES backgrounds can have access to similar technologies for a cheaper price, instead of forcing them to buy in on stuff. However, it could produce some class related bullying in the classroom.

      This is a definitely a situation that should be monitored for a few reasons. A lot of heirarchal behaviour can arise in classrooms and cause aggression levels to flare with the 'bring your own device' method. Children from families of a low socio economic level who can't afford a tablet, or low end netbook may feel confronted or 'lesser' by someone else fortunate enough to have the latest Macbook Air  or Alienware laptop for instance. Studies such as one performed by Hellene T. Demosthenous found that Socioeconomic disadvantage is directly related to students' general aggressiveness in and out of the classroom and that through this socioeconomic disadvantage, this aggression can be adversely associated with students' academic performance. This is not to say it is the sole cause, however it was a decidedly profound contributing factor. It should also be noted, that bullying was never linked in any conclusive or credible way to this aggressive behavior (Demosthenous, Bouhours & Demostherous, 2002, p.11).

  • the current situation is likely to be even more complex and diverse given the recent Digital Education Revolution, the arrival of tablets, and recent trends to "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) schemes in schools.

  • teacher's knowledge of science is organized from a teaching perspective and is used as a basis for helping students to understand specific concepts.
  • teachers teachers
  • experienced
  • a model of pedagogical content knowledge that results from an integration of four major components, two of which are subject matter knowledge and pedagogical knowledge. The other two other components of teacher knowledge also differentiate teachers from subject matter experts
  • One component is teachers' knowledge of students' abilities and learning strategies, ages and developmental levels, attitudes, motivations, and prior knowledge of the concepts to be taught.
  • The other component of teacher knowledge that contributes to pedagogical content knowledge is teachers' understanding of the social, political, cultural and physical environments in which students are asked to learn.

      Model of pedagogical content knowledge that results from 4 major components - (1) subject matter, (2) pedagogical knowledge, (3) teachers' knowledge of students' abilities and learning strategies, and (4) teachers' understanding of the social, political, cultural and physical environments in which students are asked to learn.
  • pedagogical content knowledge is highly specific to the concepts being taught, is much more
  • than just subject matter knowledge alone, and develops over time as a result of teaching experience.
  • What is unique about the teaching process is that it requires teachers to "transform" their subject matter knowledge for the purpose of teaching
  • why they teach specific ideas the way they do.
  • This is pedagogical content knowledge
  • Start discussions with other teachers about teaching.
  • Exchange strategies for teaching difficult concepts or dealing with specific types of students.
  • peer coaching
