I co-constructed a very successful model with my Year 10s today. We used it as a basis to explain many different phenomena.

Rather than a single explanation like most diagrams provide, models provide the springboard to many explanations.

Redesigning our Year 9 curriculum to include Semmelweis and Snow, and vaccinations. Explaining through causality is part of our curricular metacontent. So these models build on a culture of explaining.
I explain metacontent here:

It's exam season; few lessons this week. But we did co-enact a new model with my 14-year-olds.

We were able to discuss the law of requisite variety and negative feedback loops; part of our metacontent (link↓)

Reflexión del día: Si aceptamos la premisa de que el significado no se puede transmitir a nuestros alumnos, la única opción que nos queda es promover el aprendizaje a través del pensamiento activo de los alumnos para la construcción de significados.

De importancia enorme para mi, muchas veces los examenes no son acumulativos. Veo a profes enseñar algo durante 2 semanas, poner una parcial, suspender a algunos por sacar la nota 49% (nota arbitraria), e ir para adelante con otros contenidos y no volver a mencionar contenidos anteriores nunca más

An (edu) fad's purpose is what it does
Not long ago a drive emerged against "fun" lessons. The push was to rid the focus on fun and return it to subject knowledge itself. Soon followed the argument that students had to accept boring lesson...

Pequeño hilo 🧵 sobre las ideas de #DifferenceMaker de @cmooreanderson.bsky.social: “Para que la conversación funcione en el aula, requiere la interacción de posibilidades y limitaciones.”

Interesante reflexión: “En las clases surgen problemas debido a la información transitoria. Esto es habitual en la presentación de diapositivas. Se muestra una imagen crucial, pero cuando el profesor pasa a la siguiente diapositiva, desaparece.” #DifferenceMaker #DiagramasyDialogos

@mapimd.bsky.social me gustaría iniciarme en los proyectos de investigación en secundaria. Ya he realizado algún intento con mis alumnos, pero mi falta de conocimiento me hace dudar de si lo estoy enfocando bien o si podría hacerlo mejor. ¿Por dónde me recomiendas empezar? ¡Muchísimas gracias!
