Of note, #PhilosophyForChildren #P4C have been for ~two decades developing teaching materials for k12 students; they supported a randomized study with first graders and showed benefits to the students two years later

Do you expect higher-quality #dialogue in small group discussions or whole class discussions?

It might depend on the metric:
- small groups fostered more invitation for peers to weigh in (d = 0.78, p < 0.001)
- whole classes generated more justifications of one's viewpoint (d = 0.69, p < 0.001)

Teresa McCormack closed the #SPP2023 #preconference on #memory with “The value of remembering and anticipating experiences: a developmental perspective”

It was—as Teresa put it—dangerously close to an #xPhi talk. It adapted a famous thought experiment (from Derek Parfit?) to test kids’ and adults’ intuitions about how much we care about past, present, or future versions of us.

Today I found Deena Weisberg's (and David Sobel's) #freeBook about how kids can develop scientific thinking! A (concernig) take-away: not all pedagogy is equal.

Traditional #teaching may prevent kids from becoming as reflective as "inquiry-based" approaches.

Book: Little Pea
By: Amy Crouse Rosenthal
Illustrations: Jen Corace

I found Little Pea to be a great tool for possibly introducing aesthetics, not only to young learners, but even to adults.

Is something good or bad in all possible worlds? This is often a question we hear when discussions turn to objective grounding of morality. I like how candy, something perceived to be good to us, is disgusting to the little Pea :)
