Week 20

Wow, it's week 20 already.  Another assignment completed and handed in and onto the first part of the research section of the course.

So after doing the first part of the applied practice in context I had decided to look into either SAMR or Growth Mindset.  Now I've read the notes I am thinking I might be able to combine the two areas with a question along the lines of

"How can redefinition and modification of tasks in the SAMR model increase the Growth Mindset of pupils?"

I realise this question will undergo a lot of changes in the coming weeks.  The reason I am thinking of doing this is many pupils want to be spoon-fed information rather than explore or experiment - by redefining and modifying tasks this would encourage them to be more critical in their thinking and to look for new ways of showing their learning. I also want to include more elements of Growth Mindset into my teaching.

So on to the next part of the journey!

One question I have is can this part of the course be done collaboratively - perhaps with someone from another school.
