Decoding Icons

Awhile ago, we had a chance to talk about using icons and we decoded meaning of those icons. We also talked about what is the point of using those icons. I happened to keep stirring at those icons and I tried to figure our what those meant. I thought about them in many ways, however, there was no absolute answer.

Through the practice, I realized that the students could take things differently even though I use the same materials and teach them equally. I also learned that the students would find the materials are easy if they already have learned. These students will use their past experiences to solve problems, and they will make less mistakes (or not make the same mistakes) when they do the experiements.

When I looked at those icons, I saw there were two people departed from the same airplain but going in the opposite sides (different ways). I thought about my future students when I looked at that phenomenan. Same maeterial --> take the words differently.

When I looked at the icons that represents two passengers, one passenger get scared and the other wasn't... I thought about this.

Two different students, one student would know what he/she needs to do when she/he to solve unknown/difficult problems. However, the other student would get scared when he/she has to solve difficult problems or needs to complete the assignments that she/he never done.

It was interesting...

As a teacher, I should need to practice how to be a good facilitator.
