This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Case Study 2- Draft, Created a wide variety of instructional materials -computer-based lessons -multimedia simulations -distance education courses Botão Lado Esquerdo 24 teachers who have completed the workshops and were still practicing the techniques learned, 24 teachers who have completed the workshops and were still practicing the techniques learned videotapes of classroom observations as the teachers were gaining experiences with approach copy of the grant proposal that funded the development of the materials for teachers, Created a wide variety of instructional materials -computer-based lessons -multimedia simulations -distance education courses Botão Lado Direito group discussions- important to allow opportunities for kids to create shared meaning of scientific ideas productive discussions- allow kids to develop their scientific reasoning, articulate their ideas, and reflect on their reasonings and reasonings of others, large grant to develop professional development materials opportunities to learn an alternative way of teaching science, copy of the grant proposal that funded the development of the materials for teachers list of local teachers who expressed interest in learning to teach science in a new way articles written by Cynthia Oakes and former participant who has been teaching science for five years in the manner Cynthia advocaded, group discussions- important to allow opportunities for kids to create shared meaning of scientific ideas productive discussions- allow kids to develop their scientific reasoning, articulate their ideas, and reflect on their reasonings and reasonings of others ???? Needs 1. assistance in becoming good discussion facilitators 2. continual support while in the process of changing their practice Roles 1. critical in fostering students' ability to develop skills in scientific reasoning, Rato received large grant to develop professional development materials, Rato requested help from Created a wide variety of instructional materials -computer-based lessons -multimedia simulations -distance education courses, copy of the grant proposal that funded the development of the materials for teachers list of local teachers who expressed interest in learning to teach science in a new way articles written by Cynthia Oakes and former participant who has been teaching science for five years in the manner Cynthia advocaded, "explore issues related to reform-based science teaching" in a "socially supportive" environment and developing the problem-solving process "all knowledge is socially constructed", 24 teachers who have completed the workshops and were still practicing the techniques learned videotapes of classroom observations as the teachers were gaining experiences with approach copy of the grant proposal that funded the development of the materials for teachers, Middle school science teachers purpose generate multiple ideas from students about how to solve a scientific problem, - teaching in a manner consistent with reform initiatives requires a shift away from traditional teaching and change in teacher practice - change in practice is especially important in terms of conducting successul class discussions during science ???? - participants enroll voluntarily, so they have a positive attitude towards developing their practice. - participants should reflect on classroom practices, and to develop action plans for continual development of practice, Cynthia Oakes, a professor of science education at the local university, personally requested help from Denny Clifford, with the development of a set of innovative materials for middle school science teachers. Denny is an independent instructional design consultant that does not have the same philosophical background as Cynthia, thus creating communication barriers between the two. involving Rato, generate multiple ideas from students about how to solve a scientific problem listen and make sense of the students' ideas about science respond to students in ways that value their ideas and provide opportunities for them to explicate their problem-solving strategies, learn an alternative way of teaching science and "explore issues related to reform-based science teaching" in a "socially supportive" environment, Cynthia Oakes, a professor of science education at the local university, personally requested help from Denny Clifford, with the development of a set of innovative materials for middle school science teachers. Denny is an independent instructional design consultant that does not have the same philosophical background as Cynthia, thus creating communication barriers between the two. involving Created a wide variety of instructional materials -computer-based lessons -multimedia simulations -distance education courses, developing the problem-solving process "all knowledge is socially constructed" and formatted instruction that allows teachers to work on their own time, Needs 1. assistance in becoming good discussion facilitators 2. continual support while in the process of changing their practice Roles 1. critical in fostering students' ability to develop skills in scientific reasoning ???? - teaching in a manner consistent with reform initiatives requires a shift away from traditional teaching and change in teacher practice - change in practice is especially important in terms of conducting successul class discussions during science, large grant to develop professional development materials for target audience Middle school science teachers
