Science Education - Learning from New Directions in Practice

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Mon, 06/30/2008 - 10:13am
During the summer of 2008, Paul Grobstein, Wil Franklin, Luisana Taveras, a rising sophomore at Bryn Mawr College, and Julia Lewis, a rising senior majoring in Chemistry and Bryn Mawr College, will be thinking about science education and trying out ideas in a summer institute program with K-12 teachers. These forums are a place for ongoing thinking by the four of them, and any one else interested. To contribute your thoughts, use the forum entry form at the bottom of this and other forum pages.

Learning from Practice

Our fourth conversation valuably added the concepts of metaphor and story to our thinking about the open-ended, transactional classroom, with a spin off of an additional conversation on the relation between teaching sciences and teaching humanities. We didn't, though, get to looking at particular examples, to see what works/what doesn't work, what we can learn from actual practice. So this week, we'll do that, adding to the list some additional things including experiences at last week's Haverford computing institute and a computer program for classroom use talked about there.
