Avsnitt 27:Med Craig Barton om Att ta vara på neuro- och kognitionsvetenskap i klassrumspraktiken

Peter Liljedahl's "Building Thinking Classrooms" is a seminal work in mathematics education, focusing on creating a classroom environment that fosters independent thinking and problem-solving. The book emphasizes the importance of establishing routines and structures that empower students to take ownership of their learning. It advocates for the use of non-permanent vertical workspaces, such as whiteboards, to encourage collaboration and discussion. Liljedahl's approach challenges traditional teaching methods, shifting the focus from direct instruction to student-led inquiry. The book provides practical strategies and examples for implementing these principles in various classroom settings.

In this book, Craig Barton shares his journey from a traditional teaching approach to one informed by educational research. He discusses various practical strategies such as Supercharged Worked Examples, Silent Teacher, SSDD problems, low-stakes quizzes, diagnostic questions, Purposeful Practice, and self-explanations. Barton emphasizes the importance of understanding how students think and learn, the limitations of short-term memory, and the need for deliberate practice and formative assessments. The book is designed to help maths teachers of all levels reflect on and improve their teaching methods.

This book provides a wide range of simple yet effective strategies to improve teaching. It covers topics such as establishing routines, responsive teaching, planning, and leveraging prior knowledge to enhance student outcomes. The book is designed to help teachers refine their methods and create a more engaging learning environment.
