Putting theory into practice

The most recent science TDT asks us to explore and research one learning theory and consider and reflect upon how we might use this in practice. I decided to research the work of John Dewey.

 

I created a lesson plan based on butterflies as I felt this is something that would excited and interest an early years class. Dewey states that learning should be a balance between teaching knowledge and teaching what children want to learn and I feel like this can be reflected in picking a topic like butterflies.
