Using a New Type of Teaching in the Science Classroom

摘要

Science teaching and learning in the United States are at a pivotal point. A Framework for K-12 Science Education (NRC 2012b) and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS; NGSS Lead States 2013) shift science educators' focus from simply teaching science ideas to helping students figure out phenomena and design solutions to problems. This emphasis on figuring out is new, provocative, and exciting, and it represents a revolution in how we teach science at all grade levels.
