11:1 Proposition
When and Where did I Find it: I discovered this word while reading Teaching Reading in Social Studies by Doty, Cameron, and Barton (2003) for this course. I encountered this word when reading about and preparing to use the proposition/support outline for the strategy 6 part of my SCATP project.
What it means: Doty, Cameron, and Barton (2003) uses the word proposition in the following sentence; “Introduce the term ‘proposition’ – a statement that can be argued as true" (p. 137). According to dictionary.com, proposition is defined as “the act of offering or suggesting something to be considered, accepted, adopted, or done.”
Level of familiarity: I have heard the word before, but never considered it in the context of a learning strategy or experience.
Do I want to know this word well and why: I would like to continue to develop my understanding of this word in the context of this strategy and how it can be employed to enhance student learning in the classroom. As an educator, I can see myself using this word in a variety of contexts, but especially when problem solving for my students. Changes to procedures and schedules are consistently offered and discussed, so I can use this word in those contexts. Knowing and using this word is not essential to my success as an educator.
Do I think others should know this word well...if so, who and why: I do not believe this word is essential for others to know. It can be used in the education setting when engaging in debates and other discussion techniques.
