Lesson idea. Science teachers are often encouraged to rush from one topic to another delivering science content and explanation without giving students the opportunity to consider why they are believed to be true. To step back and give students an opportunity to reflect on and discuss their ideas can be hard, however it is part and parcel of teaching nature of science and about controversial issues in science.
Teaching approach. This resource is aimed at developing student teachers’ skills in working with discussion(ta). It can be presented to them as a hand-out to accompany an activity or read as reference material. See it online at BEEP website. Although it uses a science context, the real focus of the resource is managing and organising discussion-based activities. It provides guidance on:
- Starting and structuring a discussion
- Organising group talk(ta)
- Role Play/drama(ta)
- Ground Rules for discussion and handling difficult discussions (edit)
