Developing investigations with a lower level of difficulty for teacher. Experiments in small groups and collective conceptualization work in science.
Résumé
In Europe there is little implementation of scientific investigation (Rocard, 2006). Moreover, the opportunities for students to participate in authentic scientific argumentation inside the classroom are rare because of teachers lacking the pedagogical and didactical knowledge necessary to design lessons that foster student’s involvement in scientific argumentation and the resources to assist them (Sampson & Blanchard, 2012). In order to overpass them, we focus our research program on decreasing the level of difficulties in implementing ISBE.
