Conceptual knowledge - understands the concepts of themes that are used. 

Procedural - to understand how to write a essay historically and critically analysis evidence required. 

I think factual knowledge is most important to history as it in the most knowledge required.

Procedural knowledge can be linked to your technical awareness and physical literacy, allowing one to move in a variety of ways and competent in a various situations. Conceptual knowledge would link to strategic and tactical processes, enhancing pupils understanding in tasks. ]]> 2021-09-20 08:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753356749 tjames102 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753357764 As an example I looked at everyone's favourite - Algebra! In particular collecting like terms. The factual knowledge surrounding this type of Maths is identifying that it is Algebra, it's a mixture of numbers and letters. The procedural element is knowing that you add together the terms of the same letter, i.e. 6a+3b+2a-b would become 8a-2b. The conceptual knowledge is then understanding that the letter is just an unknown, you could call it anything you wanted realistically. Imagine that a is apple and b is banana. If you've got 6 apples and then I give you another 2 apples, how many apples do you then have? ]]> 2021-09-20 08:50:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753357764 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753359818 2021-09-20 08:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753359818 joshpritchard10 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753366316 Procedural knowledge is key for the practical element of P.E as skills and techniques need to be learnt and repeated.

Factual - Known understanding about current concepts and ideas. E.g. Periodic Table. These inform our hypotheses which can be used to challenge and develop our understanding through experimentation.

Procedural - Scientific methods E.g. Experimental methods for Chromatography or Distillation. 

Conceptual -  An understanding of scientific theories, their key concepts/ideas and applying this thinking to critically  analyse and interpret results in order to confirm or refute existing or new hypotheses]]> 2021-09-20 08:59:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753376538 201048091 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753377691 I feel Factual knowledge would relate to the actual events that have taken place. Conceptual knowledge would relate more to the context in which these events took place. I think Procedural knowledge would refer to how and perhaps why they took place. 

Although Factual knowledge is of course key in History I feel that understanding historical events in context makes them easier to understand and more enjoyable to learn.

Conceptual knowledge could be identifying styles, e.g. surrealism, abstract. Also understanding themes and concepts is important to the subject.
Procedural knowledge is important because students are learning skills and techniques which they can then apply in their work. E.g. Lino cutting – students must know the proper way to hold and use tools for safety purposes. 

All 3 are important in art. Whilst we want students to develop those skills via procedural knowledge, we also want them to understand the underlying concepts and themes to enable a deeper comprehension of the creative process.]]> 2021-09-20 09:07:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753391712 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753392900 For history in particular, factual knowledge is definitely key as it is always the starting point. I feel that pupils' would need good factual knowledge in order to even begin to fathom writing an essay about a topic. 

I think procedural would be important too. Pupils' would need this to understand how to critically analyse sources, and to understand better themselves how the consequences of actions impacted other people and why it was pivotal for that particular time period.]]> 2021-09-20 09:08:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753392900 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753395856 Factual - Melting point of ice is 0c and Boiling point of water is 100c.

Procedural would be how to light a Bunsen burner safely or any experiments .

Conceptual understanding would be that there are three states which are soilds, liquids and gases and everything has those states given the right temperatures.]]> 2021-09-20 09:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753395856 202020282 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753398945 Factual - understanding the events that have played out through history, with knowledge of the correct dates, names, treaties etc...

conceptual - this is putting historical events into context of the time, surroundings and location.

Procedural - to understand how to carry out an essay, being able to pick apart a document successfully and being able to pick up on key trends within a particular area of history. 

Personally I think factual knowledge is the most important of the three when studying history as if a student does not have this foundation, they will not succeed in the procedural and conceptual elements.  ]]> 2021-09-20 09:11:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753398945 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753404658 Factual: Key terminology/ Methods on how to cook i.e rubbing method or folding.

We start with factual knowledge that relates numbers to actual amounts of things, then a conceptual knowledge of numbers as representation, moving eventually to letters like x standing in for variables, and at the procedural level learning how different operators work. I think due to the way these somewhat follow the SoL and build from each other one can't necessarily claim some are more important than others as they are required in order to get to the next level. ]]> 2021-09-20 09:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753410872 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753411865 Factual - light travels in straight lines

The procedural side of this would be the steps of identifying the individual components and calculating an answer.  

The conceptual knowledge is how you can apply this to real world scenarios. For example how to choose a route for a journey (e.g motorway or windy A roads).]]> 2021-09-20 09:23:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753422567 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753424272 Factual = dates, facts, important people and events

Procedural = skills like analysis, evaluation, judgement and description when writing essays or debating topics

Conceptual = things like chronology, cause and consequence, impact, continuity and change. But also categories and classifications like primary and secondary sources, class hierarchy etc

In history factual knowledge is often seen as being the most important as you need to know when things happened and who was involved, but if you aren't aware of the concepts like chronology and cause and effect you can't determine the importance or significance of people and events. Being able to evaluate events and people is often more important than just knowing facts. ]]> 2021-09-20 09:23:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753424272 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753426918 For Factual, we would focus on core understanding of facial expression, body language and proxemics. Historical context would also play a part in this area. Procedural would look at how we apply this in practise, potentially using games to help students further understand the factual side. For conceptual, we would bring in practitioners such as Brecht and look at his work and how we can apply it to our own performances. I feel all of these carry a weight in the teaching of drama, but for me the Factual is the base of all knowledge within the subject]]> 2021-09-20 09:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753426918 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753426989 Factual - This could relate to the key terminology that students need to understand and be able to use for their own work, whilst being able to justify what they write.
Conceptual - This could relate to the specific literature and other forms of writing that they will come across everyday and may be required to write throughout their lives. Students being able to relate their work to the importance it has within everyday life. 
Procedural - This could relate to how writing is structured within sentences and paragraphs using accurate spelling, punctuation and grammar. 
I believe each part has a relatively equal status for ensuring students have the skills to communicate verbally and through writing effectively throughout their lives. ]]> 2021-09-20 09:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753426989 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753430393 Factual - rules and scoring, terminology, history, physiology etc
Procedural - the application of technique and skill based movements i.e triple jump/bowling action.
Conceptual - strategies and tactical awareness.

Procedural knowledge is important when it comes to the practical side of PE (Technical awareness and skills). The factual knowledge is used when we are looking at the theory and history behind exercise and sport. The conceptual knowledge would be looking at a greater depth into strategic and tactical processes to enable them to perform better. ]]> 2021-09-20 09:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753442072 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753443182 Factual - More theory lessons, following rules and having knowledge of anatomy, physiology etc.
Procedural -  the application of performing specific movements or skills I.E Fosby flop or a smash in badminton.
Conceptual - understanding key tactics and strategies that may be implemented in competition to benefit the team or player.]]> 2021-09-20 09:33:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753443182 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753448802 All three aspects are extremely relevant. Having an understanding of rules, terms and theory is critical (factual). Then there is the process of being able to perform actions or movements (procedural). Before then using these to apply and discuss tactics (conceptual). 
Whilst some students may excel at the physical elements, others may have a greater knowledge of theoretical concepts. ]]> 2021-09-20 09:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753448802 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753450493 Drama requires a mixture of all of these. Factual/conceptual skills are required for terminology of practical skills and research into key texts/genres.
Where as procedural/metacognitive skills are required to enact those understandings pratically e.g. using empathy, applying certain practitioners ideas in your own work and reflecting on the effectiveness of this for an audience. ]]> 2021-09-20 09:36:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753450493 20204368 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753453508 I feel Psychology includes factual (dates of researchers, key terminology in each module), procedural (uses the scientific method) and conceptual (knowledge of psychological theorists).]]> 2021-09-20 09:37:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753453508 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753460737 Factual - It is so important to know the correct terminology, such as medium, abstract, figurative, etc. Having basic fundamentals of artist knowledge as well, to identify historical artefacts also helps students understand the current stage of contemporary art that we are living in, the art that they are creating.

Conceptual - This is the knowledge that grows from knowing the basic fundamentals as above. Creating work based on concepts and briefs. Being able to identify artists, art styles, medium used. 

Procedural - Being able to use materials to get the desired outcome, being able to use their knowledge of tones to shade and change the diversity of an art piece. Understanding different methods of creating and the processes it takes to do this safely and efficiently, such as printmaking, photography, painting, etc. For example using bleach as an ink wash, and using gloves and safety precautions to not touch it on their skin or inhale and consume it.]]> 2021-09-20 09:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753460737 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753510177 Conceptual ideas play a big part in art. But having a good practical knowledge of skills to produce work too is important. So having some idea of procedural processes for print as an example can elevate your work. 

Factual knowledge of the world around you in a contemporary sense can inform your work and many would argue that it should in order to produce effective art. A wider historical context as well can add to this and as part of the curriculum it is a necessary part that we teach art history. So all three of these subject knowledge types probably plays an equally important part in schools. ]]> 2021-09-20 10:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753510177 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753525832 Factual - dates
Conceptual - Idea of time and chronology
Procedural - Analysing sources of all types and conduction research. Writing essays also.

In History I believe learning is now more based on the conceptual and procedural. Especially in education students are taught how to analyse and evaluate sources along with the idea of chronology and a sequence of events. Previously, it was more based on simple dates and knowing key individuals.]]> 2021-09-20 10:18:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753525832 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753541953 Factual - dates and events
Conceptual - continuation and change, concept of chronology and time
procedural - writing essays, analysing primary and secondary sources.  how to research topics

I believe history learning is more based on procedural and conceptual knowledge. Students are taught the skill of analysis and research for writing essays. Skills that can be applied to other elements of education. ]]> 2021-09-20 10:28:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753541953 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753563648 Factual knowledge- Techniques, key terminology, artist movements/styles etc
Conceptual- Understanding of the theories and styles and applying this thinking to own work, asking questions such as why and what was the reason behind certain choices with the artwork
Procedural- Creating work using the techniques learnt]]> 2021-09-20 10:42:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753563648 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753596236 Factual - the textual knowledge, including the content of the novels or plays that we are studying, e.g. the story lines of Macbeth. Also grammar, like different tenses, and different word class are also factual knowledge. Key terminology in different genre, e.g. play, we have stage direction, poems, we have stanzas, figure of speech etc.
Procedural - I think it could be the writing process, like PEEL, and how do we write and structure an essay. 
Conceptual - it could be the themes in a text or how students apply their factual knowledge into different text that we are studying. It requires them to use their critical thinking to analysis and apply what they have learn to put it into their own idea. 

I think for English, conceptual knowledge is more important. Factual knowledge is a basic, while we need conceptual knowledge to apply and express ideas. ]]> 2021-09-20 11:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753596236 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753627547 Factual would be the key figures, terms, dates, descriptive narratives. Procedural would be explaining and analysing this knowledge relating to a source or essay question. Conceptual would be understanding the factual and procedural as part of a wider chronological narrative- a 'bigger picture'. This enables students to group historical phenomena and understand basic periodisation. All three are necessary and integral to learning History, but I think utilising conceptual knowledge enables a student to learn and retain the factual and procedural so is at the forefront of an effective pathway of learning. ]]> 2021-09-20 11:19:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1753627547 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1754120262 I personally feel all three have huge importance and relevance to PE. From a factual view point. Having a good fundamental understanding of rules and scoring, keys terminology, history of a sport, physiology. 

Being able to show the correct technique used (Procedural) - Clearly being able to clearly demonstrate technique and skill based movements, for example batting/bowling action.

Conceptual - developing different strategies and tactical awareness. Using skills to overcome a tactical problem or outwitting an opponent]]> 2021-09-20 14:05:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1754120262 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1754340143 I think that all three has some degree of relevance and importance within physical education.

Factual- Having an understanding of the terminology and specific details in a range of different sports. For example, having strong knowledge around aspects of the sport such as scoring systems and rules. Also having a fundamental understanding around the terminology used in theoretical aspects such as muscle groups and the cardiovascular system. 

Procedural- Being able to show that you have a clear understanding of different techniques used in a wide rang of sports and being able to successfully demonstrate these  subject specific skills. For example, successfully demonstrating the back hand in tennis or a bounce pass in netball. 

Conceptual- Bing able to apply strategies and tactical awareness to overcome tactical problems or using your knowledge to outwit and beat your opponents. ]]> 2021-09-20 15:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1754340143 https://padlet.com/ggolder/epgfc7wracywycct/wish/1754441895 Factual- key experiments
