Many innovative approaches to education such as problem-based learning (PBL) and inquiry (IL) situate in problem-solving or investigations of complex phenomena. Kirschner, Sweller, Clark (2006) P. A., J. Clark, R. E. 2006. Why minimal guidance during instruction does not work: An analysis the failure constructivist, discovery, problem-based, experiential, inquiry-based teaching. Educational Psychologist., 41: 75–86. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Web Science ®] , [Google Scholar] grouped these...
This paper describes an analysis of facilitation a student-centered problem-based learning group. The focus this was to understand the goals and strategies expert facilitator in support collaborative learning. accomplished through interaction using video data stimulated recall examine two PBL group meetings. In paper, we how specific were used helping students construct causal explanations, reason effectively, become self-directed learners while maintaining process. Being able articulate...
This article describes a detailed analysis of knowledge building in problem-based learning group. Knowledge involves increasing the collective group through social discourse. For to occur classroom, teacher needs create opportunities for constructive discourse order support student and building. In learning, students learn collaborative problem solving reflecting on their experiences. The setting this study is second-year medical working with an expert facilitator. was designed understand...
Understanding complex systems is fundamental to understanding science. The complexity of such makes them very difficult understand because they are composed multiple interrelated levels that interact in dynamic ways. goal this study was how experts and novices differed their two systems, the human respiratory system an aquarium ecosystem. In particular, we examined a representation Structure-Behavior-Function theory (SBF), might account for these differences. SBF particularly relevant...
Complex systems are pervasive in the world around us. Making sense of a complex system should require that person construct network concepts and principles about some domain represents key (often dynamic) phenomena their interrelationships. This raises question how expert understanding differs from novice understanding. In this study we examined individuals' representations an aquatic perspective structural (elements system), behavioral (mechanisms), functional aspects system....
This article proposes 7 core affordances of technology for collaborative learning based on theories and CSCL (Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning) practices. Technology affords learner opportunities to (1) engage in a joint task, (2) communicate, (3) share resources, (4) productive processes, (5) co-construction, (6) monitor regulate learning, (7) find build groups communities. We elaborate our framework using in-depth explorations how technologies are actually used support research...

Abstract Scholarship on learning progressions (LPs) in science has emerged over the past 5 years, with first comprehensive descriptions of LPs, nature matter and evolution, published as commissioned reports (Catley, Lehrer, & Reiser, 2005; Smith, Wiser, Anderson, Krajcik, 2006). Several recent policy have advocated for use LPs a means aligning standards, curriculum, assessment (National Research Council [NRC], 2005, 2007). In some ways, are not new idea; developmental psychologists long...
Abstract Design activities, when embedded in an inquiry cycle and appropriately scaffolded supplemented with reflection, can promote the development of habits mind (scientific abilities) that are important part scientific practice. Through Investigative Science Learning Environment (ISLE), students construct physics knowledge by engaging cycles replicate approach used physicists to knowledge. A significant portion student learning occurs ISLE instructional labs where design their own...
Abstract Studying complex systems is increasingly important in many science domains. Many features of make it difficult for students to develop deep understanding. Our previous research indicated that a function‐centered conceptual representation part the disciplinary toolbox biologists, suggesting an appropriate help This article reports on results two experiments investigate how hypermedia using influences pre‐service teachers' and middle school students' learning biological system, human...
