This session will take place at ESC-20 Maple Conference Center (1314 Hines).
This session will focus on enhancing classroom discourse through the effective use of questioning strategies. We will explore the Question Formulation Technique (QFT), a student-centered approach that empowers learners to generate their own compelling questions about a science topic.
Goals for Session:
- Move Beyond Teacher-Led Questions: Move away from traditional teacher-directed questioning and engage students in active inquiry by guiding them to develop their own research questions.
- Developing Critical Thinking Skills: The QFT encourages students to ask their own questions.
- Implementing QFT in the Science Classroom: Learn practical strategies for implementing QFT in various science units and activities.
Participants will:
- Gain a deep understanding of the QFT and its benefits for science learning.
- Learn how to effectively guide students through the QFT process.
- Develop practical strategies for implementing QFT in their own science classrooms.
- Have the opportunity to practice the QFT with a science-related topic.
