I have re-presented two of your sentences in colours
My own teaching metod is to teach student to think, without thinking is not future; I think its the only way to learn mathematics and fysics, which I mostly teach.
The blue raises interesting questions:
1. How do we teach students to think?
2. If you were placed in an Indian classroom of 20 nine year-oldsfor 35 minutes / day for 6 days how would you teach them to think - say within the parameters of a topic in Math / Science (we'll be posting the topics over the week-end)
3. The same question as above - with 25 13-14 year-old boys?
4. How would you evaluate the efficacy of your effort?
The red raises other questions:
1. What is the future you visualise?
2. There is a saying: Tomorrows problems cannot be solved with yesterday's thinking. What are the thinking processes / 'mental exercises' that will be helpful for the future?
3. What teaching aids / innovative excersices would you use to ehance these thinking processes?
The green, perhaps may raise different questions:
1.Is this contrary to quantum mechanics which says that there are infinite probabilities / possibilities in any given context?
2.Many mathematicians and theoretical physicists have 'intuted' fundamental links and theory. What intutive excersices could we incorporate in the teaching of mathematics and physics?
I invite all on this project to jump in with answers / comments and perhaps raise more questions :)
With the postings of the C.V's and the topics, we could jointly freeze your programme as far as the classroom activites are concerned.
Warm regards / Peter
