Understanding the ABC Structure and Pedagogical Approach in Science Education

Explore the ABC structure of inquiry-based learning – from Prescriptive to Open Inquiry, and understand the rationale behind this pedagogical approach in providing authentic disciplinary experiences to students. Overcome challenges in managing unknowns in open inquiry and discover the key elements of inquiry-based learning through investigative design, data analysis, interpretation, and evidence-based explanations.

Presentation Transcript

1. Project EDDIE: What is the ABC structure?

2. Catalyst Question What is a lab activity? How does this differ from the process of science?

3. Reminder: Types of inquiry-based learning

4. The ABC Structure A = Prescriptive B = Guided Inquiry C = Open Inquiry

5. How to manage the unknowns of open inquiry? ? My version is different! I cannot find the data! The instructions don t work! Can we move faster? Help! Please slow down? This is hard! I m scared?

6. What is our rationale for this pedagogical approach?

7. What is our rationale for this pedagogical approach? 1. Important to provide students experiences that are authentic to our discipline

8. What is our rationale for this pedagogical approach? 1. Important to provide students experiences that are authentic to our discipline 2. Students have practiced many of the skills required to do inquiry, but everyone is apprehensive to pull them together, due to the unknowns.

Students have practiced many of the skills required to do inquiry, but everyone is apprehensive to pull them together, due to the unknowns. a. Asking questions b. Investigative design c. Data analysis d. Data interpretation e. Constructing evidence-based explanations/addressing questions with evidence 3. By trimming the problem space, we allow students to go deeper into inquiry, practice these skills while holding the problem-space constant.
