Each Sunday morning (except during summer break in July and August), adults are invited to join together at 10am in the downstairs common room to discuss a planned topic. Join us!
Topic this Sunday: Teaching creativity for greater equity in the science classroom.
This week, we welcome Mindful Discussions participant Zephaniah Greenwell, PhD candidate, as our guest presenter. His research in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Arkansas is related to Chemical Education. According to Zephaniah, a common misconception is that scientists study facts and do not use creativity. This is reinforced by the way science is taught. By emphasizing the importance of creativity in science it is possible to create a more equitable classroom. This discussion is meant to identify ways that creativity is used in science and suggests how we can integrate the teaching of creativity into scientific learning. We hope you’ll join us for an enlightening discussion.
