Connections to Secondary Pedagogy using CIITN

Learn how to utilize CIITN (Conceptual Integration and Information Technology Network) to enhance learning and meet standards in secondary pedagogy. This article discusses the application of CIITN in chemistry and biochemistry courses, specifically addressing standards related to scientific investigation, energy, interactions, and conservation of matter and energy. Discover how CIITN can develop reading skills, enhance critical thinking, promote creativity, and improve communication among students. Additionally, explore ways to connect chemistry with real-world issues and public policy. Find out how CIITN can support assessments such as CSAP and NAEP, and gain ideas to improve students' learning experience by promoting deeper understanding, pattern recognition, and interdisciplinary connections.

  1. Connections to Secondary Pedagogy using CIITN Penny J. Gilmer gilmer@chem.fsu.edu Florida State University CIITN

  2. Meeting Dr. Glaser at Gordon Conference in 2002 Learning CIITN from Glaser I use CIITN in Chemistry and Biochemistry courses

  3. For you: Using CIITN to meet your Standards of Success in CO • Standard 1: Students understand the processes of scientific investigation and design, conduct, communicate about, and evaluate such investigations • Communicating and evaluating scientific thinking that leads to particular conclusions

  4. Other CO standards • Standard 2.2. Students know that energyappears in different forms and can be transferred and be transformed • Identify, measure, calculate, and analyze qualitative and quantitative relationships associated with energy • Standard 2.3. Students understand that interactions can produce changes in a system, although the total quantity of matter and energy remains unchanged • Understand physical and chemical changes involve conservation of matter and energy • Calculate quantities to demonstrate conservation of matter and energy

  5. Application of CIITN to address these (and other) standards while assessing your students • Develop reading skills • Enhance critical thinking • Communicate using own words • Being creative in own group’s posting • Listen critically to others in group • Peer review other groups • Address physical science standards while enhancing other skills • Link to • See article on EPA and standards for smog

  6. Connecting to Chemistry via news article on ozone levels • “Counties that cannot meet the standard face the threat of limits on new highways and industries. Technically the administrator set a standard on ground-level ozone, which is the main ingredient of smog. Ozone is formed by the action of sunlight on two kinds of pollutants, volatile organic compounds, which come from gasoline and various industrial processes, and nitrogen oxides, which are produced in cars and power plants. Ground-level ozone is also a greenhouse gas.” NY Times, 13 March 2008. • With CIITN your students could address the chemistry issues or the intersection of chemistry with public policy issues.

  7. CIITN and Assessment • Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP)--currently in progress for grades 3-10 • Colorado National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)--currently in progress in science for grade 12 CIITN can help your students do better on these assessments

  8. Ideas on Your Students’ Learning • Getting beyond memorization • Connecting ideas to previously learned concepts • Seeing patterns in observations • Cross connecting across fields • Using language to help make these connections
