The
Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI) instructional model is a tool for science
teachers. Teacher can use ADI to
transform the way they teach science investigations so students have more
opportunities to learn how to use Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCI), Crosscutting
Concepts (CCC) and Science/Engineering Practices (SEP) to figure out how things
work or why things happen. ADI also
gives students opportunities to learn how to read, write, speak and listen in
science because it makes scientific argumentation the foundation of all
laboratory investigations. ADI makes
classroom science more like real science for students and can help them learn
more than they typically do from traditional hands-on lab activities. Teachers will work through the 8 stages of
ADI and experience them as a learner through a hands-on investigation. Strategies and resources for doing ADI as a
virtual option will also be explored. ADI provides a great opportunity for cross-curricular
collaboration.
Participants will have the option to receive an instruction book with
lessons and classroom follow-up support.
