]]> Comment on Learning Without Understanding by Frank Noschese http://www.teachingscience20.com/2010/08/learningwithoutunderstanding/#comment-4529 Frank Noschese Tue, 31 Aug 2010 17:47:02 +0000 http://www.teachingscience20.com/?p=178#comment-4529 I love this! I am going to give the Encabulator video as a HW assignment for my students and tell them there is a quiz the next day taken from the questions. I'll play the whole thing up, totally serious. After the quiz, I think this will generate lively discussion about learning vs. understanding and my goals for the course. Thanks! I love this!

Cant wait to start. Theres just so much information that im trying to figure out where to start. Please give suggestions. I am about to start PBL on the oil spill with my Aquatic Science Class.

]]> Comment on Exploring the NAS Framework for New Science Education Standards by David Buck http://www.teachingscience20.com/2010/07/exploring-the-nas-framework-for-new-science-educatin-standards/#comment-4497 David Buck Mon, 26 Jul 2010 14:23:03 +0000 http://www.teachingscience20.com/?p=155#comment-4497 It just seems intuitive to me that the most understanding is going to come from deeper investigation into fewer topics. I never liked science when I was in middle or high school, but my college classes were great--probably because they concentrated on single branches of science, and really allowed me to investigate them in-depth. Then when I started my own garden as an adult, a lightbulb clicked on and I realized that, not only did I enjoy science, but I was a scientist in my everyday life. I'm hoping this is the type of epiphany that our students will be allowed to realize under these new standards, rather than the drill-and-kill "coverage" model that turns so many off.

The transition between the various levels has always been a "disjunction" in science. Most K-12 science teachers are not located within the same buildings and often only interact with others at district-wide functions - and even then we usually get split up. It's nice to see a progression of ideas as well as a decrease in the number of ideas that are recommended. I've taught in three different states and it's always been interesting to see the variation among the standards for science education. I'm all about this "depth over breadth" ideal and a return to the basic foundations of our discipline - hooray! I like the new framework!
