Why this approach is important
Being aware of your students’ ideas and knowing how to develop them is important because:
- their ideas can affect how your students learn and the extent to which they can accept the scientific ideas you teach them about
- your teaching will be more successful in supporting meaningful understanding, rather than superficial rote learning
- it enables you to plan experiences that will develop or change their ideas.
