Question 1

Describe two ways to help students make meaning of concepts for themselves.

Accepted Answer

One way to help students make meaning of concepts for themselves is through hands-on activities and experiments. By allowing students to actively engage with the material, they can see the concepts in action and make connections between the theory and real-world applications. This can help solidify their understanding and make the concepts more meaningful to them.

Another way to help students make meaning of concepts is through open-ended discussions and questioning. By encouraging students to ask questions, explore different perspectives, and engage in critical thinking, they can develop a deeper understanding of the concepts and make personal connections to the material. This can also help them see the relevance of the concepts in their own lives and in the world around them.
