Drawn to Science Education: Studying Science Teaching and Learning through Drawings

Educators: Try It


Exploring Your Own Ideas about Science Teaching and Learning

Teacher Candidate: Phyllis

In this drawing, science teaching is taking place outside the classroom. Although the teacher probably doesn't teach outdoors every day, drawings can capture what a teacher is thinking about her style, setting, materials, and role.

As you reflect upon your own image of science teaching, think about what you include in your drawing and how this relates to your teaching.

Our current research also explores how teachers think about learning. You can see more drawings and descriptions in our research section. You can also try a drawing activity with your own students.
