@CoopSciScoop Hi! From Brisbane, QLD, Australia. A scientist by trade (forensic chemist) but volunteer with @CSIROSMiS #schools #citscichat
Dayson from NC middle grades STEM teacher and part of #studentsdiscover and @kenanfellows #citscichatQ1: Let's dicuss how is science taught in schools without citizen science? What improvements are needed?
- Q1. first let's discuss how is science taught in schools without #CitizenScience? what improvements r needed? #CitSciChat #statusquo
- A1 From a textbook and any results from an experiment are known ahead of time. Ss don’t ask their own questions. #CitSciChat
- A1 “Ss” = students; “Ts” = teachers #citscichat
- A1 Cookie cutter labs, worksheets, textbook #citscichat
- A1 but that doesn't mean inquiry based open ended learning isn't happening in classes w/o #citsci #citscichat
A1: with limited resources, including no real time for students to seek answers to their questions #citscichat- A1: Without #CitizenScience Ts use the same lab experiences they used, not based on current reality #CitSciChat
A1 lots textbook focus, need more hands on, in field experience. Efforts to change w/ interactive apps and trips #citscichat #statusquo
@CoopSciScoop #CitSciChat hi C - Q1 you will guess my response, more #Lab_13 s Sci in Res and students' curiosity https://lab13network.wordpress.com/- @CoopSciScoop teach students how to BE scientists as well as teaching them science #CitSciChat Q1
