Science and Hands-on Teaching

February 9th, 2010 by InspiredbyEducation

eSchool News posted an interesting article today on a recent Columbia University study, which took a closer look at hands-on teaching skills. The study concluded that teacher’s who participated in the hands-on research programs produced a 10 percent increase in the pass rate of their students in New York state science Regents. In addition, the study indicated that there is a three- to four-fold increase in employee retention compared to the national average for experienced teachers.

Do you agree with this study and believe the key to education success is more hands-on science programs for teachers? Let us know your thoughts on our Speak Up page!

Question of the Week
Students are using personal technology tools more readily to study subject matter, collaborate with classmates, and complete assignments than they were several years ago, but they are generally asked to “power down” at school and abandon the electronic resources they rely on for learning outside of class. Do you think students should be asked to “power-down” their personal electronic resources when at school?
