Together we will work toward: Type your answer in the text box.
1. Richness
Developing an awareness that there are layers of meaning to an idea/concept; openness to finding
patterns and connections and exploring the multiple possibilities and interpretations
Tapping into natural curiosity and questions about the world to drive the curriculum
Asking questions throughout an investigative process to continually deepen our understanding
Being comfortable with not knowing or not having the correct answer
EXAMPLE:
I am confident in finding patterns and making connections with scientific concepts. I enjoy
working with the unknown and trying to create my own understanding by linking it to things I
have already experienced or learned in the classroom.
I am not confident about allowing natural curiosity and questions to drive the curriculum. Im the
type of person who likes to have specific assignments with specific answers. It is difficult for me
to trust that all things will get covered by allowing the students to drive the curriculum.

1. Richness
Asking questions throughout an investigative process to continually deepen our understanding
Beginning: Explain the thinking behind your ranking at this time.
Developing an awareness that there are layers of meaning to an idea/concept;

openness to finding patterns and connections and exploring the multiple possibilities
and interpretations.
I am confident in being aware that there are layers of meaning to an idea. I enjoy meeting
new people, sharing an experience and an exploring multiple possibilities and
interpretations to one situation.
Tapping into natural curiosity and questions about the world to drive the
curriculum
I am confident in my natural curiosity to ask questions when I dont understand and
working perfectly. Im the type of person whose care more for my mistakes and responds
as soon I can.
Asking questions throughout an investigative process to continually deepen our

understanding.
I am confident to pushing myself to asking questions during an investigative process to
deepen the understanding because I think everything needs to be considered when
investigating; you never know whats important.
I am not confident. Im not good at not knowing or not having the correct answer. I
always taught myself be confident and answer everything come out in my mind and dont
worry it is right or wrong and I just need to push myself more of being confident.

EDUC 224
Middle: Explain things that are confirmed or changed or confusing.
Developing an awareness that there are layers of meaning to an idea/concept; openness to

finding patterns and connections and exploring the multiple possibilities and interpretations
I have become aware of the possibility of having multiple interpretations of a problem and
different layers to learning a concept. Similar to Blooms Taxonomy, a concept could have
multiple questions to the same answer. As a teacher, also needs to be open that there are
multiple ways to explain a question or problem and a question may need to be re-worded for
students.
I confident the ability to utilize the students curiosity and questions to drive the curriculum. If
students have a reason to learn and are willing to ask questions, then they can drive their
learning. The teacher should be a guide in the classroom and know when to assist the students
in asking the right questions instead of giving the right answers.

understanding
I confident I need to ask questions to deepen the understanding of the material. The teacher
needs to know when to ask the questions to guide the students to the answer, rather than give
the answer. I also feel as though students could be trusted to guide their learning and could
improve their own educations if given the opportunity. The students will perform based on the
teachers action and allowing students to guide the learning process would increase motivation
as the students feel as they control their learning.
I have changed to become somewhat confident in not knowing or not having a correct answer.
Students may ask questions that lack a definite answer and that spurs curiosity, furthering their
effort to learn about the material. Though I started out being unsure about leaving questions not
known or correct, I learned it is the process of getting to the question, not the answer that
matters.

EDUC 224
End: Explain why your ideas changed or didnt change as a result of this class
Developing an awareness that there are layers of meaning to an idea/concept;

openness to finding patterns and connections and exploring the multiple possibilities
and interpretations.
I am confident believe to developing student by given then opportunity to share their
learning and other possibilities and gives them the chance to explore various situations
and what influences them.
Tapping into natural curiosity and questions about the world to drive the
curriculum.
I am confident to allow student to be curious and their question will help them feel involved in
the learning process. Give student productive work, motivation and guide their learning on their
own.

understanding.
I am confident to asking the right questions will help drive the curriculum as students are
naturally curious. The right questions will lead them to what the teacher wants them to learn
and motivate them to learn the concept. I feel comfortable with asking questions to drive their
learning and subtly shifting their thinking into thinking about the right ideas but not by giving the
answers outright. Collaboration may also play a role as students interacting would allow them to
ask each other questions and answer some of their own questions.
I am comfortable with knowing and not knowing the answer to every question. Students will
have to understand this concept as well. I learned to accept it by not giving up on the question
itself but rather drawing a line in the sand for understanding the concept and knowing more
research could always be completed. It is not knowing that is the problem, it is giving up before
any question is answered. The question is only there to spur learning, what students do
afterwards is up to them.
2. Recursion
Re-examine scientific words and phrases that you remember, read, or hear from others.
What meaning do these words really have to you?
Recording your learning experiences for the purpose of reflection and further
understanding

EDUC 224
Referring to those reflections and examining what you understood at that time while
looking for connections to newly constructed knowledge and applying this new
understanding to questions and problems
Re-examine scientific words and phrases that you remember, read, or hear from
others. What meaning do these words really have to you?
I am confident that I can re- examine things that I have previously learned. Keep myself
to study the lesson over the past and revise it more.
understanding.
I am confident in my ability to record my learning experiences for the purpose of
reflection. I have my personal diary note book with many account, and username
passwords to help me when I dont have connection with my device. It very helpful every
time when I need and it always be with me.
understanding to questions and problems.
I am confident in my ability to examine my reflections and make new connections with
newly constructed knowledge and applying this new understanding. Always write a
reflection in every chapter. It very helpful and easy when you revise them and understand
what going on in each chapter.
others. What meaning do these words really have to you?
The words still have meaning as they form the foundation for science but I need to
realize students may understand better through actions than words. Each term still has
personal meaning as I still enjoy science and want to implement science as a main focus
in my future classroom.
understanding

EDUC 224
I have confirmed and been confused about recording my learning experiences for
reflection. The class has used learning experience as a way to reflect on the material but I
have not had difficulties yet. I enjoy doing the reading responses. I think that reading the text
book, and then doing the reading responses really makes an individual grasp the information
better.
I am not sure but I confident to new thing and compared to old knowledge; then applying to
information to the question.
End: Explain why your ideas changed or didnt change as a result of this class.
others. What meaning do these words really have to you
I confirmed Scientific words are the foundation of our understanding and finding the reason why
things happen builds future developments in science.
understanding
I am confident I could record my observations for a future reflection. My midterm paper shows
how my understanding changed as the experiment.
I confirmed to make connections to new knowledge and applying it to the question at hand.
Though research was needed in the class, the previous background helped me to discover
concepts and further build the idea.
3. Relations
Engaging in dialogue with others as we work together to deepen understanding learning
involves the community of learners
Reflecting on how you are making sense of your learning process and science content
both individually and as group
Sharing your ideas (i.e. questions, thoughts, concerns, confusion, etc.) openly with others
in group and class discussions so group thinking can occur

EDUC 224
Engaging in dialogue with others as we work together to deepen understanding

learning involves the community of learners
I am confident that I can engage in dialogue with others as we work; I am a very nice
person and friendly person. Always keep smile to people and showing my happiness.
Reflecting on how you are making sense of your learning process and science
content both individually and as group
I am confident on my ability to reflect on my learning process as a group and
individually. I think its important to work sometime an individually to try your best to
improve my mistake.
Sharing your ideas (i.e. questions, thoughts, concerns, confusion, etc.) openly with
others in group and class discussions so group thinking can occur.
I am confident with sharing ideas openly with others in group a small group. I am
nervous when Im talking and sharing my ideas during a class discussion because Im
worry my answer is wrong or they are not agreed with my answer.
involves the community of learners
I love to participate in small groups. I like the small group setting and stay engaged more than
when speaking with the entire class. The discussions have helped further learning and show how
each persons schema brings different ideas and possibilities to solving a problem
I have been able to reflect on me on learning. I can reflect individually because I know myself
and I understand how I learn best, my group may vary and the groups have been different so far
through the class. Additional practice and steady groups may help clarify the group reflection as
the class continues.
others in group and class discussions so group thinking can occur
I have confirmed my ability to share ideas in a small group setting. My confidence wanted as the
group discussions only involved a few people and I feel more able to open up to a small group.

EDUC 224
Engaging in dialogue with others as we work together to deepen understanding

learning involves the community of learners
I have confirmed to Learning involved with everyone because each person had a different
schema and each person could contribute information to the community.
I am confident to be able to reflect as a group and as an individual to see how far the class
progressed. Both my partner and I utilized our strengths for the project and I feel as though we
worked together but also independently when needed.
others in group and class discussions so group thinking can occur
I have confirmed to share the issues with my partner. We had no problems being honest about
the difficulties during our final project.
4. Rigor
Becoming aware that learning is a complex multi-dimensional process and that we will
have more questions than we can answer completely at this
Finding some resolution to an I-need-to-know question while aware that there is always
more to be learned about the concept
Making inferences based on multiple observations and checking their viability in
accordance with your understanding at that time.
Developing working explanations that synthesize what you are thinking, evidence from
your investigations, and ideas from others
Becoming aware that learning is a complex multi-dimensional process and that we

will have more questions than we can answer completely at this.
I am confident in becoming aware that we will have more questions that we can answer to
solve my problem. It will become helpful when Im in practice.
Finding some resolution to an I-need-to-know question while aware that there is

EDUC 224
always more to be learned about the concept

I am confident that Ill be aware that there is always more to learn about a concept just
like there is more to a person than just the surface they show you.

I am confident in making inferences based on multiple observations and checking their
viability because its like math problems. To finding the right answer it must be specific
and to solve multiple time.
Developing working explanations that synthesize what you are thinking, evidence
from your investigations, and ideas from others.
I am confident in developing working explanations that synthesize what Im thinking
because to search or solve a problem you need to read. I love to read a historical book
like a true story that happened before to someone or family.

will have more questions than we can answer completely at this
I have confirmed learning is multi-faceted and understand now how answering the question is
not the end of the learning process. Learning is about knowing how to learn and wanting to
improve oneself, not necessarily finding all the answers. I still want to learn more about adapting
curriculum to be more inquiry.

I am becoming more confident in not necessarily knowing the answer to a problem. I still prefer
to find out the answers and understand more questions will be created through inquiry. I am
finally realizing the process of getting an answer is more important than the answer itself.

I am still working on making inferences and experimenting to check their viability. Procedure
writing has just begun and I hope to further my knowledge through observations, hypothesizes,
and experiments.

EDUC 224
from your investigations, and ideas from others
I am changing to become more confident in presenting information clearly with enough detail.
My worry now is explaining the situation in simple terms for a student to understand. I have
been improving throughout the various activities and collaborations with peer.

will have more questions than we can answer completely at this
A group project proved learning will create more questions than answers. Learning is multi-
faceted and varies from person to person. Part of the learning process is the individual person
adapting for their need and knowing how he or she learns best.

I found a resolution to the I need to know questions and more information behind concepts.
Simply, how would I use the information and how practical is the information for future use?
Though more information can be found about concepts, how useful would it be and is a general
idea good enough for explaining to another person? The information is not necessarily left
behind; it is being selected based on its usefulness instead of just for its relation to a concept.

I am confirmed my ability to infer and used it when needing more information about a concept
or to reinforce beliefs behind a concept.
from your investigations, and ideas from others
Somewhat confident in developing working explanations that synthesize what I am thinking.
During class, we have to worked in group and our own midterm paper. I understand something
works or doesnt work.

Middle: Explain why your preferences have or have not changed at this time.
My preference for learning through presentations or book readings has changed. I barely liked the method
to begin with and the experiments allowed me the chance to take a chance. I have the opportunity to
experiment while having the freedom to collaborate to ask questions. The group work still is my favorite
way to learn in the class because inquiry needs to use discussion to engage the students. Discussions
further the student knowledge and allows peers to help each other.

The grading system has been fine for me and my preferences have changed slightly. I still enjoy the
individual work as a measure of my success rather than group work. The small groups have been working
well and I feel as though I can trust others to do their part more than at the start of the class.
Individual work and group work is very important for grade. And I will carry on to my future class and
have student work individual and group. I will grade student depend of their hard work and understanding
level.

3 2 1 asking questions and sharing ideas in large group discussions
3 3 2 presenting my ideas to the whole class
Im feel comfortable talking in small groups, however, I tend to be a little shy and nervous when
talking in big groups. But when no one near me and try to get my work done as soon and quickly.

EDUC 224
I dislike talking in large group discussions. I just like to listen to others people, I speak when I am either
interested in the material or feel like my words are important. I feel more comfortable and willing to
participate if not in front of the entire group. I dislike asking questions or sharing ideas in a small group in
a way because of my introverted personality. I tolerate small groups and the collaboration but feel like my
best work is done when alone.
End: Summarize your thinking about this section related to this course. How might this
experience influence you in the future?
Working in with my final project in small group was amazing, my partner helped and I dont know when
is come to presentation and I feeling kinds of nervous but I believe I can do it. I hope everything go well
on our last day of presentation. No matter what and I will do my best and preparing and ready for my
presentation. I will also carry it into my future teacher and have student working with presentation and
give student time on their work to be prepare and allow students chance to improve their learning.
4. If there is anything about how you learn or something that might impact your work in
this class, add it here.
I dont have it at the movement.
This class is the best and a lot of written and group work, but I enjoy learning difference
during this semester in this class and I will carry on to my future classes. And I wish
every GOOD LUCK!
