Submitted by Judy Hanning on Fri, 2020-09-25 06:00
It is interesting to note that college students who are working to become teachers have some beliefs ingrained in them. They have beliefs about how science and math should be taught and any other way might seem just plain silly to them. They believe that you must memorize math and science in order to learn them. When approached with a new way of teaching they often do not understand and do not believe it could work any other way.

New Ways To Teach

I found that college students who are taking courses to become teachers can change their beliefs of how science and mathematics should be taught to and learned by K-12 students.

Key Takeaways:

1
Most teachers think students can learn through memorization.
2
Teaching math and science through problem-solving can be an effective approach.
3
Students of teaching often resist new ideas that are given to them.
