Using SOLO Taxonomy to Think Like a Scientist - How to develop curious minds with the science capabilities
Wishlist
This resource takes SOLO Taxonomy, an accessible, robust way of making learning visible to both teacher and students, and combines it with current theories on how students learn and effective pedagogies. It shows how to develop curious minds in science by accessing learning through the science capabilities, collaboration, citizenship and community. It provides a strong model for what it takes to build students’ citizen-centric scientific curiosity when working for a social good.
