green hippo Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi, If a child told you that a CD player won't come apart unless the screws are undone, do you think that it links to the statement "how things work?" What about if they know that they need a screwdriver to undo the screws? Thanks Green Hippo x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Yes I think I would show understanding 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildflowers Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Showing interest in how things work, by asking questions and trying to figure things out, is more valuable in my opinion than having an understanding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green hippo Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 In this observation, the child was taking apart on old CD player - they were fascinated by it in fact. However, they did not really talk about how the CD player worked but more interested in how the screws worked and how it was held together. The child spent a long time, working out which screwdriver to use, which was to turn it and making comments and asking questions. There are a few COELs ticked off but was thinking that it also linked to the UoW statement. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Yes I'd say it would, because they are aware of how a screwdriver works/what's it for and exploring it's properties further! So World aspect not Technology you were maybe expecting! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
