Developing teaching responsiveness to children’s inquiry in science: A case study of professional development for pre-school teachers

Abstract: Supporting inquiry in the science classroom is challenging work, demanding that teachers utilize abilities for addressing and responding to children’s inquiry. These abilities include, (a) knowledge of the various forms of in-class scientific inquiry; (b) abilities for evaluating elements of children’s inquiry which teachers identify; and (c) a repertoire of instructional strategies, from which to choose in order to respond to children’s in-class inquiry.

“…Given that providing hands-on activities is essential for students' motivation and engagement in doing science (Dhanapal & Shan, 2014;Worth, 2010), what strategies can teachers use to develop students' scientific thinking skills and curriculum goals through hands-on activities? Given that the balance of hands-on and minds-on is one of the key elements of inquiry-based science classrooms (Louca, Tzialli, Skoulia, & Constantinou, 2013), how do teachers bring that balance into their teaching practice? This study looks into classroom talk as a tool to develop students' reasoning and problem-solving skills in balance with hands-on activities in science classrooms.…”
