INQUIRY LEARNING AND DIGITAL SCAFFOLDING USING SITUATED CASE-BASED SCIENCE KNOWLEDGE

摘要

Information communication technology has not onlyrnchanged the way of presenting learning material andrnlearning methods, but also the interaction betweenrnteachers and student as well as student themselves. Thisrnproject of inquiry learning employs a digital storyboard asrna scaffolding strategy to facilitate reasoning ability byrnconstructing a cognitive map. This project is composed ofrnthe two phases: 1) uncover problem-solving strategiesrn(e.g. realistic or autistic thinking) by analyzing theirrnlearning maps when playing in a case named the WrightrnBrothers; and 2) investigate the effects of situatedrnproblem-solving knowledge used by the students forrnfurther inferences.rnIt is an ongoing study focusing on qualitativelyrnunderstanding the effectiveness of scaffolding strategiesrnin a digital interactive context. The students' problemsolvingrnstrategies will be analyzed in the concept maps. Inrnaddition, the video clips and field notes as well as the eportfoliosrnwill be collected from the Web learning andrnBlended teaching.
