On Thursday (1/22) the Science Club attended a luncheon with Dr. Jim Greeno. Listening to him talk about educational research "working in Pasteur's Quadrant," made me think about reframing the science investigations we do with our students. What type of scientists do we want our students to model?
The conversation largely focused on moving educational research from Bohr's quadrant to Pasteur's quadrant. BUT, towards the end our own J-C stole the show with a finely phrased question about another trajectory: moving from the Edison quadrant (this would be us practitioners, teachers) to Pasteur's quadrant. How do we make our daily problem-solving inform theory? (I do appreciate the implication that I am actually solving problems! I am but a generally confused student teacher:)) Can the Bohrs and the Edisons party together? Who is hosting? What do we tell the DJ to play????
Thank you Science Club for letting me take us off track, a bit. Next month we'll get back to the hands on stuff.
