In TEFA, 4 principles enjoin the practice of <em>question-driven instruction</em>, <em>dialogical discourse</em>, <em>formative assessment</em>, and <em>meta-level communication</em>. These are enacted via the <em>question cycle</em>, an iterative pattern of CRS-based questioning that can serve multiple instructional needs. TEFA should improve CRS use and help teachers "bridge the gap" between educational research findings and practical, flexible classroom strategies for science instruction.</p> </div> <div class="pub-permalink"><span class="pub-field-label">Permalink(s):</span> <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10956-008-9140-4" title="permalink">SpringerLink</a></div> <div class="pub-doi"><span class="pub-field-label">DOI(s):</span> 10.1007/s10956-008-9140-4</div> <table id="attachments" class="sticky-enabled"> <thead><tr><th>Attachment</th><th>Size</th> </tr></thead> <tbody> <tr class="odd"><td><a href="http://www.srri.umass.edu/sites/srri/files/beatty-2009tef.pdf">Reprint (PDF)</a></td><td>245.8 KB</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> http://www.srri.umass.edu/publications/beatty-2009tef#comments classroom response systems formative assessment pedagogy question-driven instruction Thu, 04 Dec 2008 19:47:47 +0000 ibeatty 356 at http://www.srri.umass.edu
