Addressing obstacles and identifying strategies to making science accessible
for all learners
This iMovie was made by
Christa Lorentz in the first week of her elementary science methods course as
she reflected upon her science experience. Christa had several positive and
negative experiences in her K-16 science learning including a shift in her perceptions
about science as an active and engaging process of refining tentative theories
as a result of her participation in Natural Science 410 class at
San Diego State University. Christa even returned to interview her professor
and explore what made that experience so engaging for her as an emerging teacher.
While reading from such provocative authors as Herbert Kohl, Phillip Jackson,
William Ayers, bell hooks, and other teacher/scholars Christa and other pre-service
elementary teachers of Teacher Education 910C expressed their commonly shared
frustrations with their science learning experiences and desire to learn alternative
methods.
