- Building conceptual knowledge over just procedural knowledge
- Encouraging students to get enough practice for fluency]]> 2021-07-22 18:04:04 UTC https://padlet.com/umitdissertation/ctsipedadogy/wish/1658546846 The application of math. https://padlet.com/umitdissertation/ctsipedadogy/wish/1658547045 Students often say, but this is science class as they did not expect to actually apply math outside of math class. Also students arrive at so many different skill levels in math.]]> 2021-07-22 18:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/umitdissertation/ctsipedadogy/wish/1658547045 https://padlet.com/umitdissertation/ctsipedadogy/wish/1658547105 Students often have very difference frame of references for different science concepts.]]> 2021-07-22 18:04:32 UTC https://padlet.com/umitdissertation/ctsipedadogy/wish/1658547105 Helping students understand the deeper ideas and connections between ideas/siloed content/siloed disciplines. Helping students understand what it means to apply and do science. Helping students recognize that they learn in the productive struggle, and struggle means an opportunity for growth - along with that deemphasizing the grade (which they have been conditioned to) and teaching them to emphasize/value the learning. https://padlet.com/umitdissertation/ctsipedadogy/wish/1658547323 2021-07-22 18:04:49 UTC https://padlet.com/umitdissertation/ctsipedadogy/wish/1658547323 Aligning student and teacher expecations of what learning looks like in a math classroom https://padlet.com/umitdissertation/ctsipedadogy/wish/1658547468 For statistics specifically, I think the most challenging part is learning the vocabulary and terminology used throughout the course. In a sense, it's more than just a math course, there is a fair amount of reading/writing involved. ]]> 2021-07-22 18:05:05 UTC https://padlet.com/umitdissertation/ctsipedadogy/wish/1658547468 Shifting learning from memorization. https://padlet.com/umitdissertation/ctsipedadogy/wish/1658548336 Lots of students just want to be told the answer, and they sometimes dislike when they have to think through things and reason for themselves. It can be a hard shift to make.

Our big goal is to get them to be educated humans that can read a graph or understand that an mRNA vaccine is not altering their DNA.]]> 2021-07-22 18:07:41 UTC https://padlet.com/umitdissertation/ctsipedadogy/wish/1658548994
