• Sommario/riassunto: Robust and effective classroom discussions are essential for providing students with opportunities to simultaneously engage in science practices while learning key science content. Using numerous examples and science learning tasks, the authors show how teachers can plan the lesson to encourage students to not only learn science content but employ disciplinary practices as well. This volume outlines the five practices teachers need for facilitating effective inquiry-oriented classrooms:Anticipate what students will do--what strategies they will use--in solving a problemMonitor their work as they approach the problem in classSelect students whose strategies are worth discussing ; in classSequence those students' presentations to maximize their potential to increase students' learningConnect the strategies and ideas in a way that helps students understand the science learnedThe 5 Practices framework identifies a set of instructional practices that will help teachers achieve high-demand learning objectives by using student work as the launching point for discussions in which important scientific ideas are brought to the surface, contradictions are exposed, and understandings are developed or consolidated.About the Authors:Jennifer Cartier is the director of teacher education and a member of the science education faculty at the University of Pittsburgh.
