Ep 269: Why the Debate between Inquiry and Direct Instruction, Developing Reasoning and Teaching Procedures.
Manage episode 499699056 series 2858349
Does inquiry mean leaving students to their own devices? In this episode Pam and Kim share their thoughts on the debate teaching reasoning vs. teaching procedures.
Talking Points:
- We all want what's best for students
- Sometimes educators talk past each other, using words without examples to give meaning
- Experiencing mathing is different from helping students learn to do the mental actions of mathing
- Is there a continuum of how to teach?
- Examples of "direct" and "inquiry based" instruction
- Should we ever be explicit?
- Why is it so important to have a common experience?
