12) Listening to Children's Voices in the Science Classroom
When there are no negative consequences for saying
something, the real exploration of ideas begins.
Sometimes, a really bright child gives a most wonderful
answer, with all the 'ifs' and 'buts' covered. Tempting
though it is, the teacher would do best to not
acknowledge it as such right away - until the rest of the
class is asked what they think. Otherwise no one is
motivated to seek an answer of their own. And of
course one should acknowledge the first answer after
all have had their say.A large body of research in science education alternative concepts quite different from
what is taught in the science class.Most often, the exercise of teaching changes children's theories come as a complete surprise to them.
