Teachers as Facilitators in the STEM Classroom - Part 1
To facilitate STEM lessons, teachers must prompt students to justify, design and evaluate ideas through their questioning. I recently read about a presentation on higher level questioning strategies in STEM lessons from Paul Pack and Deborah Haynie with the work they are doing at Liberty Elementary in Virginia. They took the revised Bloom’s Taxonomy framework and designed questions that would speak specifically to the EDP. This week we will look at the first 3 levels. Next week, we will explore the next 3 levels.
Level I-REMEMBER
- What challenge/problem were you asked to solve?
- How would you describe your project?
Level II-UNDERSTAND
- What do you think might happen next?
- Explain how this works.
- What in your project shows (the new idea or criteria given)?
Level III-APPLY
- Could this have happened/been used in (real life scenario given in design brief)?
- What elements would you change if you did this again?
- How would you solve (problem in their design) with what you have learned so far?
