Book excerpt: Due to government initiatives, education in the classroom has focused on high stakes test scores measuring student achievement on basic skills. The purpose of this action research study was to augment fourth grade students' knowledge of basic content by teaching greater meaning and depth of understanding--to teach critical thinking using Socratic circles. Using a constructivist approach, a comprehensive plan was designed and implemented that included an age-appropriate platform for argument and inquiry, a process that required critical thinking skills, and allowed the intellectual standards for critical thinking to be developed and measured. Ten students representing the academic levels of the whole class were selected and participated in seven Socratic circles. Over a period of 15 weeks, a mixed methods approach was employed to determine how students were able to apply the intellectual standards to reasoning during Socratic circles, how this innovation provoked participation in student-centered dialogue, and how Socratic circles improved students' evaluation of competing ideas during their reasoned discourse. Results suggested that Comprehensive Socratic Circles increased participation in reasoned discourse. Students' ability to evaluate competing ideas improved, and their application of the intellectual standards for critical thinking to their reasoning increased. Students also increased their use of student-centered dialogue across the sessions. These findings suggest that Socratic circles is a flexible and effective teaching strategy that fosters critical thinking in fourth graders.

Download or read book Succeeding with Inquiry in Science and Math Classroom written by Jeff C. Marshall and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2013-10-04 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thinking critically. Communicating effectively. Collaborating productively. Students need to develop proficiencies while mastering the practices, concepts, and ideas associated with mathematics and science. Successful students must be able to work with large data sets, design experiments, and apply what they're learning to solve real-world problems. Research shows that inquiry-based instruction boosts students' critical thinking skills and promotes the kind of creative problem solving that turns the classroom into an energized learning environment. In this book, real-world lesson plans illustrate highly effective inquiry-based instruction as you learn * How to engage math and science students at all grade levels; * Why students should explore a subject before you explain it; * How to meet rigorous standards and expectations through rich, well-aligned classroom experiences; * How to develop useful formative assessments and gather critical information during every class period; and * How to create effective questions that guide students' deep learning and your own professional development. No matter what your experience with inquiry-based instruction, Succeeding with Inquiry in Science and Math Classrooms will help hone your ability to plan and implement high-quality lessons that engage students and improve learning.
Download or read book Using the Theory of Multiple Intelligences to Increase Fourth Grade Students Academic Achievement in Science written by Linda Davis and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This applied dissertation was designed to increase the academic achievement of 4th-grade students in science. The problem to be solved was that 4th-grade students in a rural elementary school exhibited low academic achievement in science. The researcher utilized the multiple intelligences (MI) theory and brain-based learning to develop the IMPACT strategy. This acronym was based on the essential components in the treatment program: introduce the focus lesson, make it relevant, practice the new concept in MI learning centers, allow time to set goals and reflect on learning, choose an independent learning project, and take time to celebrate. The independent variable consisted of the MI learning centers, and student achievement was the dependent variable. In the one-group/pretest-posttest research design model, the participants were given a pretest, exposed to an intervention program (i.e., the IMPACT strategy), and given a posttest to determine the effectiveness of the intervention. As a result of the intervention, 3 of the 6 expected outcomes were achieved: Twenty students completed and turned in science class work assignments daily, displayed appropriate behavior for learning during science, and displayed a positive attitude about learning in science. Analysis of the results indicated that there was a significant improvement in students' achievement, behavior, and self-esteem. Recommendations based on the results of this applied dissertation are as follows: (a) Students should be given more input regarding learning activities; (b) monthly parental involvement should be encouraged; (c) the school should seeks business alliances and apply for more grants; and (d) a longitudinal study be conducted to investigate the long-term implications of the IMPACT strategy in an interdisciplinary approach. Teachers can use this strategy as a way to increase student academic achievement and to enhance their own professional development. The following are appended: (1) Learning Instrument; (2) Interview Instrument; (3) Climate Instrument; (4) Multiple Intelligences Instrument for Learning in Science; and (5) Multiple Intelligences Journal Writing Instrument.
