  11. What do we want? • conceptual understanding • fluent skills • positive dispositions Science and math as ways of making sense of the world

  12. What do we want? We want people who can and will use mathematics and science effectively as tools in their efforts to make sense of the world. We want people who are equipped and inclined to wonder.

  13. Assimilate? Accommodate? Ignore? How shall we teach? “…knowledge one has acquired without sufficient structure to tie it together is knowledge that is quite likely to be forgotten. An unconnected set of facts has a pitiably short half-life in memory. Organizing facts in terms of principles and ideas from which they may be inferred is the only known way of reducing the quick rate of loss of human memory.”- Jerome Bruner, 1960

  14. Assimilate? Accommodate? Ignore? How shall we teach? “The best way to create interest in a subject is to render it worth knowing, which means to make the knowledge gained usable in one’s thinking beyond the situation in which the learning has occurred.”- Jerome Bruner, 1961
