Notes from Science Inquiry Video

Note 9.02

Private Speech

1.       The private discourse among students is important for us to pick up on.

2.       Encourage problem management and self-evaluation of problem solving techniques.

3.       By reviewing the materials and self-evaluating resource students will have a much more meaningful interaction with data.

4.       Structure interaction with students in ways that explore own thinking. We need to model the appropriate ways of thinking and evaluating.

5.       Student’s recognize the importance of self-questioning. Talking to your self is way to verbalize inquiry responses to our environment.

Cognitive Apprenticeship

1.       Guiding cognition of certain science knowledge, so that students can maintain ownership.

2.       It help students create a process of thinking that keeps them from reaching a roadblock in their thinking. It facilitated an enhanced learning experience motivated by a guided process of thinking and questioning.

Scaffolding

1.       Providing support for student learning that give them the necessary information create step for students discover things on their own.

2.       Having students keep their own record of their observations and then making the observations prove to be more use as the students move on, helps them discover the importance of recording observations, which is often viewed as a tedious task.

Link Beyond Schooling

1.       Good education link students learning to life outside the classroom.

2.       Independent student research can facilitate this learning. By locating resources that reinforce student learning the classroom, students will be able to generate hardened evidence of knowledge taken as scientific truths.
