{{DISPLAYTITLE:Welcome to the Decoding & Disrupting the Disciplines Wiki}}

<span style="color: #000000">'''[[Decoding the Disciplines]]''' is a process for increasing student learning by narrowing the gap between expert and novice thinking. Beginning with the identification of [[Bottleneck|bottlenecks]] to learning in particular disciplines, it seeks to make explicit the tacit knowledge of experts and to help students master the [[Mental moves|mental actions]] they need for success in particular courses.</span> Decoding <span style="mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin">is not complete without</span> [[Disrupting the Disciplines|Disrupting]]<span style="mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin">, which focuses on the bottlenecks of colonialism, racism, identity, bias—the hidden curriculum or issues that disciplines do not address, that make people uncomfortable, or that the people tend to turn away from.</span>

'''Group activities''' are an integral part of teaching. Often they consist of tasks given to students in order to work on them collectively. However, it cannot be assumed that students consciously or subconsciously perform operations that allow them to get started with problem solving in group tasks ([[Group_activities_in_interactive_teaching|Full article ...]])

When mathematicians think of [[limits]], "approaching" has a very nuanced meaning - an amalgam of "dancing" and "getting closer."

*[[Scope_of_formula|Scope of formula]]: When using a mathematical formula students don’t check whether the prerequisites for the applicability of this formula apply.
*Students have difficulties distinguishing images like paintings from what they depict. Watch an instructor explaining this bottleneck "[[Artifice in representation]]."
*Students find it difficult to view [[History of the American Home|Home]] as a constructed ideal.
