Information Processing Model Part 2 You will upload a picture of your representation here. You will present aspects of your “creed” as well as a visual representation of the connections you have made throughout those belief statements. This could look like a variety of things: an object you create with different art materials, a painting or illustration, a poem you have written, a journal…please be sure to run your idea by me. You will present what your representation is and several of your creed. Your representation must show:
1) how your belief statements are represented in what you are creating
2) creativity and thought into its creation
3) be small enough to carry to and from class
4) You should be prepared to share several of your statements. Seminar-style Presentation + Active Engagement
The Pedagogical Creed presentations will take place during our in-person meeting on Tuesday, March 5. True to a seminar class format, you will present your personal pedagogical creed in a mini-conference fashion. This means that you will present sitting in the round-table classroom structure. Please also engage actively with peer presentations when your peers present their work. Each student will conduct a 10- to 15-minute practiced, engaged, and interactive seminar-style presentation of your ‘pedagogical creed.’ Practice what you will say before arriving to class. And then come to class prepared to talk about your creed in 10 to 15 minutes (the amount of time may be adjusted depending on class size) with classmates. The best discussions will engage the audience and be interactive. Additionally, students will conduct active in-person engagement with all of the student presentations. Please write your 5 “I believe” statements around 1) what is education, 2) how students should learn, 3) the purpose of content, 4) the purpose of schools and education, and 5) your stance on how education is a move toward social progress.
This will help you firm up your ideas about the poem.
Overall, a good start but now go deeper!
Part 3 By this point, we have discussed many topics: frameworks for teaching and learning, culturally responsive and sustaining pedagogy, critical theories, and connections between culture, learning and identity. You all have come into this class with folk theories and scripts of how students learn and how you think teachers teach. The hope is that through readings, discussions, videos, and your assignments, you have challenged those folk theories and scripts by considering what you have learned thus far through theoretical concepts, yet also knowing there is more than just “Theory” that informs how we teach and how students learn.
John Dewey, an American philosopher and educational reformer, wrote his Pedagogic Creed in 1897. In it, he articulated his beliefs around the purpose of education, the purpose of schools, what should be taught, how it should be taught, and how education moves towards social progress. He started his ideas with “I believe…”
You will refer to Dewey’s Pedagogic Creed.
In this assignment, you are to look at how Dewey articulated his beliefs about education and come up with your own statements with rationale for each.
Example: I believe education is a process of living and not a preparation for future living.
In this final paper, you will do something similar, with 5 “I believe” statements around 1) what is education, 2) how students should learn, 3) the purpose of content, 4) the purpose of schools and education, and 5) your stance on how education is a move toward social progress. Under each “I believe…” statement, include 1) your rationale for that statement citing a reading you have done in our class or another class, and 2) an example of how that might look in a classroom.Throughout your paper, at least 5 of the resources should be from this class. Your rationale from the reading should support your claim or stance.
In your paper, 1) Begin with an introduction and end with a conclusion that reflects back on your statements.
2) how you have made sense of the readings/discussions in class and how you are applying and connecting them to your own ideas about teaching and learning,
3) to see that your thoughts and examples are clearly articulated and organized, and
4) to see that you have referenced at least 5 readings from our course that support your ideas.
Please be sure to proofread your work prior to submitting.
