WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO VALUE SCIENCE?
1. Intrinsic Value Situational & Personal interest
2. Utility Value Relevance
3. Attainment Value Identity.
4. Cost ValueWeighing against alternatives.
In general, how many of your students: Have personal Interest in science?See relevance of science?Identify with or see self as a scientist (or serious student)?Worth the effort?
REVIEW: FINDINGS ABOUT VALUE
Most Adolescent Students see little value in science Science interest declines with age Students often fail to see relevance Girls may see less value than boys -- Beliefs about task
relevance and ability interact, especially for girls
BUT: Teachers missed many opportunities to promote relevance, especially in lab and we observed many missed opportunities to promote value
MOTIVATION IS A STATE NOT A TRAIT
These are field notes that we took recently in two diff erent teacher’s science classes. Read through these descriptions looking for instances of utility and other types of task value.
Underline statements that indicate teacher/student focus on value
Asterisk any statements you want to discuss
