Activity - "receptable" for knowledge
I didn't have to think for long about the questions on this slide before all these horrible memories of boring, teacher-led lessons from secondary school hit me. It makes me want to quiver in my shoes thinking of being back in class, especially on a double period, the teacher going on and on for what felt like an eternity, all this new information we were meant to soak up like sponges. We had no choice but to sit in our chairs, look and listen to the teacher at the front of the room talk about the topic of interest for the next 2 hours because we had a test coming up on that we needed to pass. Can you think of anything worse? ... neither can I.
Looking back on my high school education I can definitely see the concept of banking education come into play. The classes I were in were rote and teacher lead, based on the teacher knows everything and the student knows nothing.
The concept of banking education can apply to certain aspects of education however, every student learns and develops differently. If one way of teaching/ learning is unsuccessful the educator needs to employ a strategy that is better suited to the interests and needs of their students.
Can teaching be organised around schedules, recipes?
I don't believe so. I believe there no one way to be a successful teacher. Teachers need to be able to meet the interests and needs of their students in an environment that changing all the time

Strategies I could use to co construct learning with children
I can encourage children to uncover, express and share meaning with others by encouraging the children to share what they think and know.
