Supporting Complex Cognitive Skills

Více o knize

Focusing on the development of critical skills in middle-school students, this work explores how project-based inquiry can enhance the interpretation and application of expert cases in science. It argues that effectively engaging with these cases allows students to deeply understand their content and lessons, facilitating future transfer of skills to other contexts. The study examines the scaffolding methods used to support students in this cognitive apprenticeship, whether they are working alone, in groups, or as a class.
