OR Teaching skills to mastery
What can the Chi Mystery teach?
Curricula around the world say
Integrate skills with content e.g.“Construct an explanation of the Big Bang theory based on astronomical evidence of light spectra, motion of distant
galaxies, and composition of matter in the universe”
:
School inspectors say
“The best schools ensured that pupils had sufficient time to be taught and subsequently
develop the skills of scientific enquiry”
But psychologists warn
“Inquiry-based instruction places a huge burden on working memory. The onus should surely be
on those who support it to explain how it circumvents the well-known limits of working
memory when dealing with novel information”
cognitive overload
What can happens in classrooms
• Lack of explicit skills teaching• Skills marginalised in curriculum • Teachers have ‘expert blind spot’
What TEMI offers
• Gradual Release of Responsibility model• Content-led and skills-led versions • Lifelines (Cognitive strategies)
