Reaction to the article: Scientists ask questions
This was a real fun and cute article about getting students early on to start asking questions and thinking like a scientists. I like the idea of getting students early on to start thinking at a higher level of reasoning. My daughter's kindergarten class decided to call themselves the Little Einstein's for their class name and had T-shirts made. Their teacher is encouraging them to ask questions and think about the processes they use in the classroom. This gets students out of just asking "Why" but also "How, Who, What, and When."

When I was in school many years ago, my father encouraged me to ask questions. Especially if you do not understand something, ask your teacher. A lot of students do not ask questions. Everything you want to know in life and learning starts with a question. Once you get students to ask questions, any questions, you can almost immediately see the light bulb go on. Unfortunately I think most are afraid to ask questions, but if we make it the norm from a very young age like your daughters class is doing, we will break that mold.
ReplyDeleteSarah, I think that is great. One of the major struggles of teaching is getting students to ask questions and wonder "what if?" and "why?" Abstract thinking is extremely difficult. Props to your daughter's teacher for fueling inquisitive minds!
