Argument-Driven Inquiry

Argument-Driven Inquiry

1. THE TEACHER identifies the task and provides the guiding question

   • SMALL GROUPS OF STUDENTS then design a method and collect data
     • GROUPS then analyze data and develop a tentative argument
       • EACH GROUP then shares its argument during the argument session
         • THE TEACHER then leads an explicit and reflective discussion
           • INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS then write an investigative report
             • STUDENTS conduct a double-blind peer review
               • EACH STUDENT then revises and submits their report
           • IF NEEDED, GROUPS can reanalyze the data
       • SOMETIMES STUDENTS need additional data
