2024 Thrive 8 - Low knowledge bases and a bad start?

I thought 2 I was bad, 2 Em is worse. They learned fast in the wrong way. When I withhold "scolding" due to the last-minute change in venue to cater to relief requirements, some of the girls see it as "it's ok to be late". The late-coming issue was responded to with "scolding" to make it clear that it is not acceptable.

Should I not be spending time setting up administrative work for the first lesson but focus on what they will be doing and engage in reflection-on-actions specific to design and 5A? That can be the insulation phase of my study. 

In my thesis, I compared organisation science with educational settings. An innovative culture in an organisation is built over time. Similarly, an innovative classroom will be the same. When students come with a poor attitude of epistemic agency, low value of collective responsibility and little or no dispositions to build knowledge. How am I going to start that?

I share my reflection about the class progress in writing about 5A. Is 5A a prerequisite for knowledge building. They are related. Attention can simply be listening attentively. It can also sustain their own attention by extending their learning.

2024 Thrive 3 - Self-evaluation of sketching using pen

First lesson with 2I (80-min) 20 pax (10 boys & 10 girls) - The use of Ideo video as a resource to test current students' design capability through reflection was not carried out. It is more of checking for understanding rather than facilitating self-reflecting as a class community. If I were to do it again, how can self-assessment be better embedded in the activity and facilitated? How to design a worksheet that embeds self-assessment? You see what we draw so we can improve our drawing - use a pen not pencil. In my research in 2018, it appears that student improves their sketching faster when they sketch with a pen. Why? they can't erase. They dare to explore  (1) Diagnostic assessment of sketching. Students at this age can identify if their observation sketch is accurate. When they are directed to evaluate their first attempt of sketching from observation using rules (isometric or perspective rule). All followed my instructions to improve. However, a 3 uses correction ta...

My reflection with AI about the STEM project

 I have just completed a STEM workshop with my students. I would like to reflect about this workshop to any of you. ChatGPT That sounds great, Joon Yong! How did the workshop go? What activities did you and your students work on, and what were some key moments or challenges you encountered? 4o We are working on building a chair using a cardboard. The requirement is to be able to withstand three kilos of weight, and also have a leg that is 15 cm long. However, based on my knowledge about knowledge building, I decided for them to make a wheelchair that the humans can sit on. ChatGPT It sounds like you extended the challenge to make it more engaging and relevant. How did your students respond to the new requirement of designing a wheelchair? Did they come up with any innovative ideas or encounter any specific difficulties? 4o Indeed, the outcome surprises us. Everyone is game to attempt, and all the groups have come up with a real-size chat at the end of the day. ChatGPT That's impres...
