Harvard Smithsonian Digital Video Library
(1.115 recursos)
The Harvard Smithsonian Digital Video Library is a collection of digital video materials supporting science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education reform. It is sponsored by The Science Media Group, part of the Science Education Department at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and producer of "A Private Universe." It contains clinical interviews of student ideas, demonstrations of phenomena, case studies of instruction or research, interviews with experts and correlations to state and national curriculum standards.

Looking at Learning...Again, Part 1: Workshop 8. The International Picture - Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
This workshop offers an opportunity to investigate various aspects of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), other than the test scores themselves. Distinguished Professor of Educational Psychology William Schmidt presents differences in curricula, textbooks, and teaching practices around the world, and a group of community members discuss how the TIMSS results reflect societal and cultural values.

Minds of Our Own: Program 2: Lessons from Thin Air - Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
Just about everyone will agree that trees are made from sunlight, water, and soil the trees sucks up from their roots. But the surprising truth is that trees are made from air! Trees are solar-powered machines that convert air into wood. Why is it that, despite the fact that photosynthesis is one of the most widely taught subjects in science, so few people really understand the central idea underlying this system? Starting with this question, program two explores why something taught in school can go unlearned and shows that we often teach without regard to what children actually need to...

Assessment in Math and Science: What's the Point Workshop #2 - What?d I Get? (Scoring Tools) - Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
Well-designed performance tasks give teachers the information necessary to evaluate the depth of students' understanding ? but how can teachers determine quality work? This workshop demonstrates how teachers can construct assessment tools for benchmarks of student understanding. The role of students in the construction of scoring tools and the process of assessment will be a primary focus. Content Guide: K. Michael Hibbard.
