MSPnet Academy: Responsive Teaching and the Complexity of Learning Science
Description
This MSPnet Academy webinar is presented by David Hammer, Professor of Education and Physics, and Co-Director of the Center for Engineering Education and Outreach, at Tufts University
This webinar will consider the rich dynamics evident in a moment of third-grade student inquiry about motion -- including the complex interactions among students' conceptual knowledge, and how they frame and feel about what is taking place. From there the discussion will turn to the challenges for teachers of recognizing and responding to these dynamics, and what sorts of experiences could help prepare them to meet those challenges.
