Science For All,Including Linguistically Diverse Students: Achieving The Promise

9725525李：本研究旨在探讨如何促进来自三个民族语言背景的小学生进行科学探究。研究围绕两个问题展开：(1)以学生为中心的开放式探究式教学方法，教师鼓励学生自己提出关于自然现象的问题并找到答案；(2)教师指导的方法，教师向学生提供发展技能和概念的指导，为进一步学习奠定基础。这项研究的重点是通过会议、扩展干预和教师的合作努力来促进教师的专业发展。通过这个过程，教师将成为教学领导者。本研究将对4种干预条件进行对比研究。分析将包括使用观察和访谈的统计和定性方法。-

9725525 Lee This research investigates ways to promote scientific inquiry with elementary students from three ethnolinguistic backgrounds. The research centers on two issues which are investigated with teachers from different linguistic backgrounds: (1) alternative instructional approaches for student centered, open-ended exploratory approach in which teachers encourage students to generate their own questions about natural phenomena and find answers on their own and (2) teacher-directed approach in which teachers provide students with instruction to develop skills and concepts as building blocks for further learning. The study focuses on professional development of teachers through meetings, extended interventions, and collaborative efforts of teachers. Through this process, teachers will become instructional leaders. The research will be a comparative study of 4 intervention conditions. The analysis will include statistical and qualitative approaches using observation and interviews. -
