“Using pedagogical documentation
to develop a more effective problem-solving approach in young children”
presentation in Room 308A
Wednesday September 29, 2010
from 11 a.m. to 12 noon
Pedagogical documentation comes from the practices of the educators in Reggio Emilia, Italy. It enjoys great popularity within Early Childhood settings. Researchers here at UBC have been exploring its use in documenting the mathematical thinking of six- to eight-year-olds.
This presentation uses documentation to show how teachers might facilitate the skills of knowing “how to think” rather than simply focusing on “what to think” when children engage with mathematical problems.
This lively presentation includes multi-media examples of children having fun with math. Come to explore a new approach for your teaching or to recapture the joy of early learning.
Presenter: Sylvia McLellan – doctoral student in EDCP.
This workshop will also be presented in Denver, CO
at the 2010 regional NCTM conference.
