Welcome everyone... #ukedchat I suppose the first question we

need to answer is 'what is learning?'

ukedchat 19:59

Ok, folks. It's 8pm. Enjoy #ukedchat tonight with @SirBlimelyWindy

Topic = "How do you teach learning?" Off you go...

schoolsict 20:00Do you really teach learning or is it more facilitating learning?#ukedchat

dmchugh675 20:01 #ukedchat learning is making connections.

gormatt 20:02

@ukedchat @SirBlimelyWindy Learning is personal meaning

making. Means individuals have to construct the meaning for

themselves. Active.

cherrylkd 20:02

@dughall #ukedchat do you mean 'hands on' (not literally)peer to

RT @schoolsict: Do you really teach learning or is it more facilitating

learning? #ukedchat < well, there has to be some instruction

Good Evening all in today's #ukedchat for me learning the three Rs

would be a good start for teaching the students

#ukedchat There are aspects of learning of learning such as

resilience, reciprocity etc that can be broken down into skills etc to

JOHNSAYERS 20:05

Learning involves virtual permanent understanding of something

not just a short term gain which is progressive development cycle

#ukedchat

jayneokell 20:05

@dan_bowen #ukedchat I agree! We need to remember that it is

continuous. It never stops so what we need to think about is

progress.

Andy__Stokes 20:05

@KempsterD, Agreed without the relationship no learning can

occur #ukedchat

RT @mattpearson: Coupling 'learning and teaching' together in a

ICTwitz 20:05 @dan_bowen ...and that process needs to be learned. #ukedchat

mattpearson 20:05

learning is a liminal process (Dylan Wiliam), meaning a change in

psychological states which is hard to define #ukedchat

helps both teachers & learners to take further steps when planning.

jayneokell 20:58

@cherrylkd #ukedchat No I can't say that. I'm an NQT so my

knowledge in geog and hist in particular is not good. It will improve

as I

heartofsol 20:58

RT @oldandrewuk @heartofsol Couldn't disagree more. Teachers

need to be one step ahead of pupils #ukedchat agree or disagree?


RT @Heatherleatt: Got to stop edu being like a sausage factory -

kids deserve so much better and it's soul destroying for teachers.#ukedchat

oldandrewuk 20:59

@heartofsol #ukedchat Everyone makes mistakes. By contrast

ignorance on the part of the teacher is not excusable.

ePaceonline 20:59

RT @ufasarah: Learning about the process of learning is crucial. And

each new learning experience means you learn more about learning

& yourself #ukedchat


Right, that's just about it - much food for thought #ukedchat will try

to summarise it faithfully


@sheliBB interesting - I've wondered those points too! Do you think

teachers are willing to try dramatic/artistic techniques? #ukedchat

jayneokell 20:59 @cherrylkd #ukedchat I gain more experience.

@ukedchat right... will try and write up a report - lots to cover! Is

the archiving etc done by you?

agarridodiez 21:00

Pupils learning can be assessed in different ways ( not just with

tests ), i.e. by observing pupils, through questioning,.. #ukedchat

@KiDu89 great to ask kids what they want to learn - but where do

you get the time to do this? Logistically hard to do #ukedchat

KiDu89 21:01

@Andy__Stokes Of course. A child will want to be involved in

something if it looks fun & exciting. #ukedchat

SheliBB 21:01

@creativeartsco lots are keen to use drama when they see it in

action #ukedchat

KiDu89 21:02

@heartofsol I do it at the start of every new topic, just as you would

to find out what they already know. Short 15 min discussion

#ukedchat

ePaceonline 21:02 @Heatherleatt #ukedchat Yes, Yes, Yes!!

TeachToAll 21:02

@ePaceonline @heartofsol i second that!! if we are encouraginglifelong learning why shouldn't we as teachers still be learning!

Relationship? #ukedchat

@mattbuxton10 @ePaceonline #ukedchat Then it isn't really

Socratic. Oh don't mind me, I just like to point out *who* Socrates

questioned.

heartofsol 21:05

@KiDu89 yes, that's a great way, and completely do-able. You

should patent that method, you'll make a mint :-) #ukedchat
