Section
D Transformations: beliefs about learning
This section continues with
the use of ‘stories’
about teachers’ transformations based on research. The focus here is on
exploring factors related to teachers’ beliefs about learning. When
teachers
were asked how they approached computer modelling, and their reasons
for
it, they had strong views about how pupils could be supported in their
learning. What are pupils learning when they use a simulation? Are the
technical skills required to use a simulation or create a model to be
seen
as a hurdle or a benefit? How is motivation affected and what is the
relationship
with learning? Do pupils learn more from running a model or from
creating
their own?
