Description
STEM education emphasizes hands-on activities, sometimes set in a pure discovery learning setting. In this work we present the result of a design-based research project to develop a teaching approach that aims to stimulate students’ thinking skills (thinking about research and making, reflection and doubting, questioning and argumentation) by giving dialogue a prominent place. We discuss how this approach is appreciated by the teachers, how it affected the teachers teaching style and how it impacted the ability of the teacher to recognize students’ thinking skills (a prerequisite to be able to stimulate them).
