Why is the pedagogy used in STC/MS different from that used when teaching from a textbook?
The pedagogy used in STC/MS is based on new educational research about how children learn. The results of this research show that children learn more readily and retain learning longer when they connect new experiences and information with what they already know about the world. Children also build critical-thinking skills and scientific habits of mind when they do science rather than read about science, thereby actually participating in the processes of inquiry and exploration.
