Thinking Dispositions: A review of current theories, practices, and issues - 0 views

  • Good thinkers certainly have thinking skills. But they also have more: Motivations, attitudes, values and habits of mind all play key roles in good thinking, and in large part it is these elements that determine whether people use their thinking skills when it counts.
    • Tom March
       
      This is the key behind "Dispositions." Yes, people need the skill/abiity to think critically, but this doesn't tend to happen unless they have a desire to do so.
  • What Kinds of Thinking Dispositions Are There?
    • Tom March
       
      This is where other frameworks for thinking could be used as well. If a school has been working with Art Costa's Habits of Mind or Robert Marzano's Dimensions of Learning, these can be used here. The main point is that "enculturation" is the solution, not "teaching" critical thinking.
  • a disposition is something we want students to evidence on their own ─ without being pushed or prompted to evidence it"
    • Tom March
       
      Suggestion: this is where an online space, focused on intrinsically motivating experiences is an asset. Changes in thinking and motivation require substantial time and repetition.

The Tell-All Generation Learns When Not To, at Least Online - NYTimes.com - 4 views

  •  
    "people in their 20s exert more control over their digital reputations than older adults, more vigorously deleting unwanted posts and limiting information about themselves."
  •  
    Good article to balance the hysteria and myths that us oldies know what's up and the kids aren't informed.
  •  
    It is good news about the older teenagers, and those in their 20's however as noted in the article "Younger teenagers were not included in these studies, and they may not have the same privacy concerns. But anecdotal evidence suggests that many of them have not had enough experience to understand the downside to oversharing". These kids need to be our target audience when talking about cybersafety etc, as like with many other facets of a teenagers life, they don't necessarily have the "fear factor" and understand the long term risks.

Dan Meyer: Math class needs a makeover | Video on TED.com - 6 views

  •  
    "Today's math curriculum is teaching students to expect -- and excel at -- paint-by-numbers classwork, robbing kids of a skill more important than solving problems: formulating them. "
  •  
    I know my students are learning how to use a text book, take them outside and measure/photograph a problem and they are left hanging. This is a great view on how to get students to discover knowledge. It is a powerful tool.
