  1. Teacher Centered Instructionvs.Student Centered Instruction

  2. Sage on the Stage: Teacher is the primary conduit of information. • Ex: Lecture • Guide on the Side: Teacher facilitates student experiences with content.

  3. Teacher-Centered • Advantages • Teacher controls content, time, activity • A lot of material can be covered • Easy to plan • Disadvantages • Inefficient for many learners • Low motivation • Limited opportunities to check progress

  4. Student-Centered • Advantages • Tends to be more motivational • Provides more opportunities to experience content • Disadvantages • Lack of teacher control/organization • Time & resource dependent

  5. Pendulums • Prominent position in the history of mathematics and science • What have pendulums been used for? • In classrooms, pendulums are a common activity for teaching about the control of variables.

  6. Pendulums • Make a pendulum • What variables could students explore with a pendulum? • What issues would students have to work through?

  7. Pendulums • What variables could students explore with a pendulum? • Period • Length • Weight • Angle of release • What issues would students have to work through? • Holding the point of swing steady • Measuring the period • Manipulating multiple variables simultaneously

  8. Task • Create 2 informal plans for instruction • Teacher-centered lesson • Student-centered lesson • Lesson Focus: Pendulums • Teaching objective: TSSBAT list two everyday items that make use of pendulums. TSSBAT identify the variables which affect the period of a pendulum. TSSBAT design an experiment to test for the effects of multiple variables on a system.
