商品簡介
In this methodological handbook, Bresser (teacher education, U. California, San Diego) and Fargason (classroom teacher, Fay Elementary, San Diego) outline an inquiry-based approach to teaching elementary science, bolstered by Fargason's experience using said approach in a classroom with many English language learners. Open-ended questioning and discussion are emphasized, with exploration of the ways that teacher response can encourage or unintentionally block student engagement. In addition to the method outline and examples of science lessons, advice is given on how to cultivate a safe and orderly classroom environment and support students with language barriers so that all students can engage and benefit from the curriculum.
