New National Academies Of Science Report Identifies Three Qualities Key To Student Success The National Academies of Sciences has just published one of their typically massive reports and this one, as they usually do, has some nuggets if you’re willing to wade through it all. The report is called “Supporting Students’ College Success: The Role of Assessment of Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Competencies,” but much – if not all – of it also has relevance to K-12 schools. The report is available for free download. Science Daily has nice, short, and sweet summary of the report. The report seems to offer some good suggestions on how to promote the development of those qualities, though I don’t think there are any new ones that many don’t already know. I’m adding this info to The Best Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Resources. Related The Best Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Resources January 23, 2012 In "best of the year" Let Them Eat Character

Teaching Good Study Habits, Minute by Minute Nobody said that raising an adolescent was easy, and schooling one is even more of a challenge! Parents are taking on a lot of school responsibility, and let's face it -- things are different than they used to be. How are parents supposed to know how to handle the homework load without some guidance? Take studying, for example. The task does not have to be daunting. Getting Started Determine when tests will happen. Use school websites, email, planners, etc. to help you and your adolescent pinpoint an effective way to get tests on the calendar. Set a goal. Work with your student to determine how many days of studying he needs, and make a session-minute goal (one minute per grade level) and a target for him to study twice daily. Determine the study material. Notes, study guides, worksheets, or quizzes from the chapter or unit are all good choices. Ask and answer. Do it again. Set aside the same time increment before bed, and repeat the entire exercise. Minute-by-Minute Study Strategies 1. 2. 3.

Should Pedagogy Always Drive Technology? Teachers hear this mantra often from the best minds in education: Pedagogy is the driver, technology is the accelerator. Focusing on pedagogy, or the craft of teaching, is a frame that helps ensure educators prioritize content, strategies and students in our work. Technology comes in later. However, are there times in school in which technology could be the driver? Teachers work hard to design lessons and create the conditions for success. One reason to consider leading with technology is the access it provides for students. Kids can write computer programs with coding applications. Another consideration as to whether technology could be a driver in certain educational situations is the reality that students often do need instruction on how to use digital tools for learning. The first resources that students often go to for research are YouTube and the opening page of search results in Google. Finally, could we agree that learning technologies can also be a lot of fun?

How to master a new subject — Quartz I wasn’t always a good learner. I thought learning was all about the hours you put in. Then I discovered something that changed my life. The famous Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman understood the difference between “knowing something” and “knowing the name of something,” and it’s one of the most important reasons for his success. Feynman stumbled upon a formula for learning that ensured he understood something better than everyone else. It’s called the Feynman Technique and it will help you learn anything deeper, and faster. The catch: It’s ridiculously humbling. Not only is this a wonderful method of learning, but it’s also a window into a different way of thinking. There are three steps to the Feynman Technique. Step 1: Teach it to a child Take out a blank sheet of paper and write the subject you want to learn at the top. A lot of people tend to use complicated vocabulary and jargon to mask when they don’t understand something. Step 2: Review This is where the learning starts.

Les mots de Catherine Becchetti-Bizot résument parfaitement ce que j’ai appris de cette journée. «Le numérique éducatif n’est pas une accumulation d’outils mais l’occasion de s’interroger sur sa pratique professionnelle, penser l’apprentissage comme un processus qui nécessite la diversification des outils et des approches pédagogiques.» Entre mer et montagne EIDOS est un rendez-vous mobile qui montre qu’au delà de la carte, les événements aménagent et acculturent les territoires. A l’image de Clair au Nouveau-Brunswick (Canada) , entre Pau et Bayonne, entre mer et montagne, les enseignants transforment leur salle en fablab éducatif, les établissements en incubateurs, les territoires en pépinières coéducatives et, à l’image des makers, ils s’interrogent sur la manière dont l’élève connecte ses neurones au quotidien. Pour une pédagogie active… … tout en déconstruisant les “numéromythes” L’âge de raison commence quand l’on arrive à prendre du recul par rapport à soi. Dépasser les erreurs

Learning Strategies in the Classroom Tim Seifert Faculty of Education Fall 1993 Current cognitive theories of learning point to the important role students' thought processes play in learning. Students need to be mentally active processors of information if learning is to occur. In these formulations, several criteria must be met if learning is to occur. First, students must attend to information to be learned. When students attend to information, try to see how new ideas relate to each other, or try to relate new information to prior knowledge they are engaged in strategy use. While much research has been conducted on problem-solving and learning strategies, many of those strategies are domain-specific and not generalizable across the curriculum. The remainder of this paper will be divided into two sections. Strategies for Enhancing Memory and Comprehension Representational Imagery. Imagery is thought to enhance memory for two reasons. A second example comes from the Grade 5 social studies text. Elaborative interrogation.
