Description
This Friday, September 8th, join a conversation with Melinda Owens about "Uncovering alternate conceptions in student thinking."
Students do not come into our classrooms as blank slates. Instead, they bring with them a variety of ideas about the topics we are teaching, some of which may be scientifically incorrect. It is important to address these ideas because some of them may interfere with students learning the concepts you are trying to teach. In this session, we will discuss the many roots of scientific misconceptions and how to uncover alternate, incorrect conceptions among your students.
Since April 2020, NIST has been running this widely-attended program for STEM faculty seeking pedagogical support to navigate the continuing challenges in the world of learning and teaching. SI community members, friends and affiliates have met up to discuss "all things teaching and learning in epic times."
