SCIENCE AND EDUCATION |  |  |
|
I believe that education must be conceived as a continuing reconstruction of experience, that the process and the goal of education are the same thing. I believe that education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living.
John Dewey, My Pedagogic Creed The teacher is not only a communicator but a model. To communicate knowledge and to provide a model of competence, the teacher must be free to teach and learn
Jerome Bruner, The Process of Education We think we learn from teachers, and we sometimes do. But the teachers are not always to be found in school, or in great laboratories. Sometimes what we learn depends on our own powers of insight. Moreover, our teachers may be hidden, even the greatest teacher.Loren Eiseley, "The Hidden Teacher" in The Star Thrower A manual? Give me a break! Let me get in there and muck around and try various things and see what happens.John Seely Brown, "Learning, Working, and Playing in the Digital Age" |
SCIENCE IS AN EXPLORATION (AND FUN)
EDUCATION SHOULD BE ...
AN EXPLORATION, AND FUN
Among the great ironies of our culture is that science, a fundamentally open-ended and exploratory activity, is frequently taught so much as a body of "facts" that many students become estranged from science, and most are deprived of an opportunity to have experiences which strengthen and reinforce their own inclination to experiment, question, and explore ... both the world outside and themselves. Materials presented here are aimed at finding ways to make science education, and education in general, more exploratory, and more fun.
