| Abstract | DOCUMENT RESUME SE 008 342 Cohen, Michael R. Increasing Teacher Awareness of Children's Perceptions. Irdiana Univ., Indianapolis. Mar 70 9p., Paper presented at Annual Meeting of Natikdal Science Teachers Association, (Cincinnati, Ohio, March 12-16, 1970) EDRS Price MF-$0.25 HC-$0.55 Child Development, *Cognitive Processes, *Educational Psychology, *Elementary School Science, *Instruction, *Teacher Education It is the author's contention that it is possible for a teacher with a thorough preparation in the content and process of science, and teaching one of the newer science programs, to have little effect on his class. This may be due to the teacher's lack of Inderstanding of the world of children, of their capacities and capabilities. One way for a prospective teacher to learn and understand a child's view of the world is to have conversations with children. The author has therefore designed a field experience program built around individual interviews with children. Students first read Piaget's "The Child's Conception of the World." They learn why interviews are used, how to ask questions, and what they can find out from the discussions. The prospective teachers who participated in this program have begun to develop an understanding of the world of children and skills needed to continue to increase their understanding. (BR) |
