Differentiated Science Inquiry

Autor Douglas J. Llewellyn
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 dec 2010
This book will help primary school teachers of science gain the skills and knowledge needed to both incorporate inquiry-based instruction into their classrooms and to differentiate such instruction to more effectively meet the needs of all students. The author introduces differentiated inquiry and show teachers how to develop and customize learning choices that best fit their students' individual styles and comfort levels. Differentiated inquiry is based on the belief that when students are provided with choice in instructional options they are more engaged and committed to completing the task at hand. This, in turn, increases student motivation, interest in science, and a desire for students to achieve at higher levels.

Recenzii

 "One of the best resources I have read in a long time, this work is an affirmation of what we do and it will help us do it better."
 "The author relates his strategies to real-life scenarios and includes hands-on examples that are easily implemented into any science curriculum. A must-have for any science teacher!"

"Doug Llewellyn provides yet another insightful book that can be used to improve individual instruction or guide professional development for entire science departments. This book helps teachers provide what each student needs to excel in a manner that can be sustained for years to come. The examples included within provide concrete guidance that can be applied with tomorrow’s first period."
"This very readable book beautifully ties together inquiry, motivational strategies and differentiation. With multiple examples of science lessons across disciplines, this important book provides a solid rationale for the importance of differentiated inquiry."
"This book deals with two of the most difficult pedagogical challenges science teachers must face: conducting inquiry-based investigations and differentiating instruction. It provides new insight and strategies for creating opportunities for all students to become more engaged. Along with classroom examples, the author provides practical suggestions on how to give students more control of meeting their needs. The result is student motivation and proficiency."
"Effective instruction is the goal of every educator, and this excellent resource provides detailed guidance in the use of DSI as the tool to get there."
