Thinking about Pedagogies
1. What are your reasons for choosing the pedagogies you implement in your classrooms?
2. How do you know your pedagogies are impacting your students?

Comments
Answer: BJustification: One way to find the area is to imagine a 10 m by 10 m square and subtracting a 4 m by 6 m rectangle.
CommentsSolution
A = 10 m x 10 m – 4 m x 6 m = 76 m2
Alternatively, the shape’s area can be found by dividing it into 2 rectangles and adding the areas together.

and b) how would you explain that to uh either teacher-candidates or to your potential students.”

Post-Practicum TPCK
“So, if you set it up in a dynamic where… different types of
people have [different needs], so if you need to talk to someone,
you still get that, if you need silence, you get to think on it on your own, and then people aren’t so stressed… And they actually get to argue and talk back and forth and they’ll remember it
more. So for them, I think they’ll master it more.”

Emerging Themes
• Student understanding as beyond current classroom context
• Role of TCs previous conceptual understanding
“…physics is…not about applying formulas, and doing math. It is…about gaining an
appreciation of the world around us. And, being able to use your understanding and extrapolate … explain what’s
happening around you. [It] has nothing to do with math
formulas.” Post-interview 1
VALUE OF CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING
![Page 23: Marina Milner-Bolotin, Heather Fisher & Alexandra MacDonald Saturday, July 13, 2013 IPTEL](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568164c3550346895dd6d773/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Emerging Themes
• Necessary for conceptual understanding
• Classroom realities are single most limiting factor in application of this value
“… some of the physics 11s who are just doing it to do a science, and are just, ‘Alright, Physics, I’ll try it out.’ Some of them were not as en-engaged, and I think doing
the… voting-style questions helped get them more into it and more involved. So I’d say… it’s
helpful to get those students who hide at the back in these 30
person classes.”

ROLE OF STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
![Page 24: Marina Milner-Bolotin, Heather Fisher & Alexandra MacDonald Saturday, July 13, 2013 IPTEL](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568164c3550346895dd6d773/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Emerging Themes
• No purpose without sound pedagogical support
• Conceptual understanding optimal outcome of this pedagogy
• Alternative mechanisms can achieve similar outcome
“It wasn’t just the clickers alone. It was also in…. the presentation of the question. It wasn’t a simple
plug in the answer-type question. It had to be conceptual, in which
you could… , the Bloom’s taxonomy, the higher learning of
students. So, in itself, clickers… is only a tool. But it needs to be
complemented with good conceptual questions in order to
make it work.”

CLICKERS AS A MECHANISM
![Page 25: Marina Milner-Bolotin, Heather Fisher & Alexandra MacDonald Saturday, July 13, 2013 IPTEL](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568164c3550346895dd6d773/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Returning to Objectives
Model AE with the course content
Investigate the effect of Active Engagement (AE) on
teacher-candidates epistemologies
Modeling impacts TCs epistemologies,
regardless of successes/challenges in
practicum
“I’m there as a teacher, (pause) but I’m also there as a student. Conversely, they’re there as a student, but they’re also there as a teacher. That doesn’t mean they’re teaching necessarily, teaching me. They’re teaching each other... You’re always a student-teacher, regardless of whether or not, what your position says.
The-the moment you step out, and you meet someone, you now are both a teacher and a learner.”

Explore a possible mechanism for AE
pedagogy
Clicker-enhanced pedagogy works as a
mechanism for AE pedagogy in a small
class
“Coming into the program, we were all sort of thought that we were expected to be masters, and if the instructor puts up a clicker question,
you think ‘Jeez, I don’t actually know the answer’ – immediately you think well, we’re all supposed to be masters, I’m probably the only one who
doesn’t know. But uh when the responses come in, you see other people think like you, it’s definitely reassuring.”
