So far these are my takeaways from science #senecacpd
@chemDrK
1. What we teach isn’t the same as what the students learn
2. As we learn evoke a chance in LTM
3. Plan and anticipate misconceptions and address them when they arrive
4.Language can be the root of a misconception

5. Triangulation of concepts
6. As the teacher consider the sequencing and delivery of ideas
7. Self regulation and develop student motivation for them to cognitively engage in the tricky concepts
Great talk @chemDrK thanks a lot!

@NLad84 models to aid scientific explanations
1. Science is full of abstract ideas
2. Scale models help students visualise
3. Analogies for abstract thinking
4. Mathematical models
5. Theoretical models to bring ideas together
6.EXPLANATION
MODEL (predict, evaluate,improve

@mxcharlier Narrative structures to aid memory
1. Humans are natural pattern seekers
2. We anticipate which reduces cognitive load to enable us to process more complex ideas
3. Stories provide recognisable patterns
4. We rapidly invent stories
5. Neural coupling-reader:listener

6. However we need to tease out the science, effectively question, include reading, include describe and explain questions that explains the science is crucial!
7. Stories are POWERFUL!

@brett_kingsbury Faultless communication in science
1. Cause and effect enables facts to be learned
2. Try to only induce the fact
3. Correlations must be clear
4. We need to consider the principles: wording, set up, difference, testing

@AJTF71 the importance of reading in science
1. Reading links to the development of language & can support understanding
2. We need to teach students how to read
3. Decode Visual recall Fluency
4. Comprehension involves students to make connections
5. explain the language

Visual recall Fluency4. Comprehension involves students to make connections

6. Break down the meaning behind the text
7. Practice in lessons
8. Interrogate the text through questioning
9. Comprehension required priori knowledge and we need to activate this!
10. Hinterland enables deeper meaning and framing to support understanding

@MissLLewis Self regulation and independent learners
1. Science is hard
2. We need to break the cycle of dependence
3. Factors to consider are intrinsic nature and student perceptions
4. Areas to use include confidence, modelling, I do, we do, you do and scaffolding

5. Plan monitor evaluate
6. Learning cycle: condense, memorise, retrieval, apply, review and model how to do this for studnets
7. Integrated instructions by @louisecass and @dave2004b can support students understanding by reducing cognitive load
Lovely talk

@DJGteaching Sequencing and schema building
1. Sequencing should facilitate learning and understanding
2. Procedural and declarative knowledge should be identified and prepped effectively
3. Review
4. Link to your context
Great talk Dave!

@mrkocallaghan booklets in science
1. Carefully consider design and hierarchy or knowledge
2. Graphic organisers can support
3. Time saver
4. Clear and focussed note taking
5. Improved teacher and student organisation
6. Supports students absence- easy to catch up

9. Promotes high expectations
10. Engaged staff in curriculum design and focussed time on the development of quality resources.
@mrkocallaghan I would love to explore these ideas more with you! Great talk and triggered many ideas

@FabPhysics Questions to ask yourself when doing a practical
1. Do they need to do the practical?
2. Will it hinder learning?
3. What am I looking for and what are they learning?
4. What are the problems that could arise?
Great job as always Fabio!

@Mr_Raichura explicit instructions
1. Learning isn’t linear- it’s complicated, so planning a unit or sequence is far more productive than lesson by lesson
2. Main ideas outlines
3. Logical sequencing of ideas and highlight reference points
4. Atomise ideas to make them explicit

Great job!!
@FlaviaBelhamPhD and @SenecaLearn wonderful job at pulling an amazing conference together!!
