Teachers‘ strategies
“We discuss the problem and the ways it can be solved.” (Lithuania, Physics).
“Mainly through question and answer sessions, e.g. 'What if....?‘ ” (UK, Science).
“Directing students to perform a little research and gathering information and then discuss the issue.” (Israel, Chemistry).
“Car wars really inspired students to create more questions in science”
“Giant Viruses allowed students to read different stories related to the same dilemma”
Students questioned other groups’ beliefs and the level of concerns about Giant Viruses”
“Students used real data suggested in the materials to bring questions, analyse and interpret Solar roadways”
“Arguments were co-constructed to support their evidence-based reports on Energy consumption”.
“Students were stimulated to look at all the issues surrounding the dangers of this virus and vaccination pros and cons related to Ebola”
A lot of pupils knew benefits but not the risks of a tanning bed – Ban the Bed.
Students hooked their knowledge to understand the issues of Taking a test, the ignorance of some and possible prejudice of others.
Students used science knowledge and inquiry procedure to elaborate the menu for the canteen by describing sourcing the insects with detailed information. Eat Insects
Students practiced various skills, particularly arguing and communicating science.
RRI inquiry skills
How could we ensure the sustainability of these
resources and opportunities for teachers at scale?
