Light in Science & Society Bètadidactiek Group Iaonnina April 2012
Introduction • Group Members • Redouane Eddeane • Martijn van Gerwen • Joost van Heijst • Ralph Huijgen • Jurgen Jongmans • Jos van Mil • Ruud de Wit • Erasmus Intensive Programme • University of Ioannina, 11 – 21 June, Ioannina, Greece
Lessons Focus point lesson series: ‘Light’ Series of 9 lessons for 4th grade pre-university education Prepare a half day workshop for in Ioannina with a very diverse audience Participate in curriculum development in Greece
Challenges Artificial Solar Tree Challenges Learning objectives: have to be formulated to clarify the expected level of sophistication Prevent overloaded curriculum:Lessons cover both chemistry and physics concepts, no need to address separately Irrelevant content: one overall context links the different concepts
Type of learning objectives • Scientific Literacy • Pitfall:scientific subject structure only for scientists focus is on scientific literacy • Lessons: connect ‘Light’ to the discussion about (sustainable) energy. The overall context creates: • Increase in scientific literacy • New solution to the energy problem will motivate • Social & environmental component
Teacher regulation Process oriented teaching style Shared control strategy Students: structure and highlight Teacher: activate, monitor, give feedback Gradual transfer: of learning activities from teacher to student Promote: congruence and constructive friction
Learning objectives Environmental problems Fuel cell Electrolysis Combustion engine Need for sustainable energy Greenhouse effect CO2 All energy traces back to the sun Photovoltaic cell Catalysis Photosynthesis Electrochemical cell Yearly use of liquid fuels Light = energy CO2 capturing and storage Carbon cycle Reaction kinetics
Diversity Context approach: content for intrinsic and extrinsic motivated students Types of assignments: social and scientific assignments ‘Genius’ assignments: the smart student can do these assignments Dealing with diversity will be build into the lesson series.
Beta didactical approach • Pro’s of context based lesson series • Strong link between the concepts and real life • Goal is scientific literacy • Address issues like: real life, profession, environment, student’s life Lesson series Cognitivism Constructivism Although the context approach is constructivism, we’ll build the lesson series between cognitivism and constructivism.
Beta didactical ingredients • Information gathering • IT • Java appletsdemonstration, home study to prepare for school • Simulationsunderstanding cause –effect • Examples • Carbon cycle • Electrolysis • Lab work (minds-on) • Give meaning to new theory, adjust conceptions • Develop scientific skills
