 MSLT Colloquium Series Presents:
 
 Responsive Teaching and the Complexity in Learning Science
 
 
 FURCOLO ROOM 20
 May 3, 2012
 4-5:30pm
 
 DR. DAVID HAMMER 
 PROFESSOR AT TUFTS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
 
 Much of the difficulty in research on "learning progressions" is the
 complexity of the phenomena. Drawing on video records of 3rd grade students talking about
 motion and energy and, time permitting, high school students discussing
 whether air is matte, rDr. Hammer will consider that complexity, within and
 among conceptual, epistemological and affective dynamics. He will then turn to
 the challenges for teachers of recognizing and responding to these dynamics,
 and the sorts of experiences that could help prepare them to meet those challenges.
