This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Engaging students in the science classroom, students ZPDs (Vygotsky, 1978) helps To bring slower students 'up to speed' in a non threatening environment, Classroom management - STEM Engaging children in the classroom presenting STEM information via, High expectations, Classroom management - STEM Engaging children in the classroom presenting STEM information via, Narrative, ENGAGEMENT via Connectedness, culture social life eg Gender, Universe next door "every student is different" in Background knowledge, Universe next door "every student is different" in culture social life, Connectedness how do students "connect" with the task at hand? Executive Function/s, YES - the act of student engagement can be seen as the first physical response to the stimulus. The positive or negative response can also be seen (identified) on the students faces. positive outcome The student response is quick and determined. eg.The student picks up a pen to write. The student asks a question. The student puts their hand up to answer a question. The student is seen to be on task., YES - the act of student engagement can be seen as the first physical response to the stimulus. The positive or negative response can also be seen (identified) on the students faces. negative outcome Student fails to engage or delays take place. eg. The student fiddles. The student looks away. The student puts their head on the desk. The student looks defiant. The student looks down. The student engages in distracting behaviour., SIGNIFICANCE via Connectedness, MAD or SAD students are LESS LIKELY TO ENGAGE, corporate group intelligence brings together students ZPDs (Vygotsky, 1978), Classroom management - STEM Engaging children in the classroom presenting STEM information via, SIGNIFICANCE, GLAD or a 'little' AFRAID (they see a challenge) students are MORE LIKELY TO ENGAGE, 1. Executive FUNCTIONS which are the neurological processes occuring in the brain in response to an environmental stimulus How does the brain respond to a stimulus? In summary, any stimulus received by the brain is firstly interpreted and engaged by the Limbic system (Ardila 2008). The limbic system is the centre of our emotions. Therefore the first response is an emotional response. This emotional response is then transferred to the cerebral cortext where cognition takes place. This happens through the engagement of higher order thinking processes using the individuals discipline specific literacy or metalanguage. This process describes the executive functions active in cognition of the stimuls., Collaborative learning 'groupwork' This works because corporate group intelligence, Classroom management - STEM Engaging children in the classroom What do we know about student learning? Universe next door "every student is different", MORE LIKELY TO ENGAGE How can we encourage a positive outcome MAKE STEM EDUCATION FUN, Classroom management - STEM Engaging children in the classroom presenting STEM information via, explicit quality criteria
