1. How does learning mathematics and science today differ from how you were taught? Provide examples.
Learning Math and Science in my days is drastically different from the way I was taught, especially in relation to the change from practical to theoretical education. I was taught to memorize my multiplication tables and we never used any manipulatives or models to learn it. My teacher put up the multiplication on the board and he started with the ones and worked their way up to the zeros. I was never explained what the “X” represented. Today, students are expected to know the meaning of the “X” symbol and it is broken down to learn it by repeated addition. For example, I had to teach a lesson on multiplication and the teacher left me specific instructions on having them group it in addition form and they had to repeat the process of addition. According to Adams and Hamm (2014) an example such as (3*4) is the same as 4+4+4. As a substitute teacher I have noticed that the existing core curriculum places a solid prominence on helping students to envision and grasp problem solving processes. Teaching has changed and the
methods have also changed, which is good because we also must change it for our diverse
students. When I was in school, I didn’t have all the accessibility that is provided today such as technology which is helpful to teach today, because we get to do more research and use it to introduce instructional videos. According to Adams and Hamm (2014), the use of blogs can help in students’ collaboration, it may not drastically impact proficiency. While using technology for school projects may be entertaining for today's kids, it's important to identify that this can affect a student’s learning in a superficial way of the subject since easy access to answers online could hinder realistic learning of the subject such as
math and science.
2. Which of the instructional practices from Text 2 do you plan on implementing? Explain why.
My method of teaching my future students would have to be a combination of Integration
of instructional technology by using tools such as computers which can have them up to date with the 21
st
century and project-based learning which will teach my students real
world situations. Giving them projects to work on which will teach my students how to think seriously with hands on learning helping my students how to think outside the box and have an open understanding of ideas that will lead to real knowledge. I chose these two techniques because I still want to keep some traditional form of teaching but with some technology and have them learn from the real world in the process.
