The Difference between Christina’s and Andrew’s Expressions of QAR II
Problem: What percent of calcium carbonate is calcium knowing that you need 1500 mg of calcium a day, how many 500 mg calcium carbonate pills would you have to take to get you 1500 mg of calcium the first step in problem solving is organizing our data according to QAR categories?
For the Right There, we are looking for a number with a unit attached. The Right There data is: 1500 mg of Calcium, 500 mg Calcium carbonate pill.
For the Think and Search we are searching Tag Heuer Replica within the problem for more information. This information may not slap us in the proverbial face like the RT does but it is in front of us.
The Think and Search data is: We are looking for the percentage of Calcium in Calcium carbonate. When solving problems both Author and Me and On My Own are very important and often intermixed! This is what makes it so difficult.
For Author and Me, we are looking for information that requires previous knowledge. This means that if you have never been in school before and you have never in your life thought then you are sunk. But if you have some schooling and you have had at least one thought in your life, you should be OK. The problem is that you will have to both read and think.
For On My Own, we are looking back at previous knowledge. This includes how to do things, and basic facts. Elizabeth continues to solve the problem in the same manner by demonstrating her thinking for the students using the QAR language. Throughout the process, Elizabeth scaffolds students’ understanding the context of when to use the relationship between each question and its response. She guided students by providing them with tables that helped them in figuring Tag Heuer Carrera Replica out where to get information for problem solving. Elizabeth helped students to learn when it would be best to explicitly implement the QAR strategy by giving them declarative knowledge of the strategy, procedural knowledge of how to do the strategy, and the scaffold of the conditional knowledge so that students would understand when it is necessary to explicitly implement each part of the strategy.
