INTRODUCTION: Plan for today

1. ANALYSIS1 (a la Gooding) of videoclip
2. DISCUSSION: GOODING and GORMAN/CARLSON articles
3. ANALYSIS2 of audiotaped interview (Kate)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ACTIVITIES:

1. ANALYSIS1: 1-minute videotape of students in inquiry (Interactive Physics).
   1. Using video, transcript, and the coding sheet produce an "inquiry map" a la Gooding.
   2. Present this map on newsprint to the class.
   3. How do the maps differ that were prepared in different groups? What may be some of the reasons for these differences? What makes it difficult to derive such a map? What can we learn from the mapping activity?
      
      

      
      

2. DISCUSSION of readings Historical Perspectives on Cognition: 'Mapping experiment as learning process: How the first electromagnetic motor was invented' (GOODING) and 'Interpreting invention as a cognitive process: The case of Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, and the telephone' (GORMAN/CARLSON)
   1. Ontological ambiguity?
   2. Agency?
   3. Contingency?
      • ------------
   4. What might be possible dangers if drawings are set equal to "conceptions" and "mental models"? (Gorman & Carlson, p. 139)
      • ------------

   
   
   

    

    

    

3. ANALYSIS2 of Interview Data (Kate)
   1. Question: Are there critical incidences in the career path of marine educators?
   2. In small groups of 3-4, analyse the interview. See if you can derive a schema that expresses your findings in a graphical form.
   3. Note your findings on newsprint poster
   4. Present results to the whole group.
