046 Nature of Science & Malleable Self-Concept

Release Date:  December 12, 2020 Leave a Comment

Episode Synopsis

Science communication has been turned upside down by the explosion of popularity of social media platforms. We read a reconceptualization of nature-of-science education for the social media age. What is our job as teachers, of any content area, to prepare our students to be responsible consumers of science as citizens?

 

Later, we turned to the role of a person’s self-concept in shaping how the interpret information and engage in learning. How much of our students’ self-concept can we influence as teachers, and what can we do to help students see themselves as successful learners?
