Using sInvestigator Spring 2017 - Modern Scientific Revolutions Class 2 – Evaluating Relevance and Credibility of Evidence (Round Earth) Class 3 – Evaluating Selected Evidence (Evolution) Class 10 – Argument Construction, Evidence Search, and Evidence Evaluation (Plate Tectonics) Student engagement w/system after brief introduction during Class 1 Class 2 – Demonstration with relatable example - not course content Classes 3 and 10 - Course content, scaffolder introduction of system features

EVOLUTION Class 3 Lesson Design What do we know? Direct Instruction How do we know? Items of Evidence Evidence Evaluation

EVOLUTION sInvestigator Learning Goals Select from 15 items of evidence Attach items to one or more of four hypotheses Fossil records indicate that life has changed over time. DNA sequencing indicates that life has changed over time. Artificial selection is possible. There are examples of natural selection. Evaluate item relevance and credibility Researcher created items – varying credibility and relevance Relevance – What would be the probability of the hypothesis if the evidence were true? Credibility – What is the probability that what the evidence is telling us is true?

Open sInvestigator Click on the green “+” in the corner Select “06 Evolution” Click on “Scen” to display initial lesson argumentation We are encouraging you to engage with the system as individuals, but during your work times we encourage you to collaborate with the people at your tables View evidence by clicking on menu

Using sInvestigator

Using sInvestigator Items of evidence in database were provided to students double click Double click – repository for evidence – title, weblink and brief description or user notes

Evaluating Evidence As you drag an item of evidence, two squares are displayed, a green one (for favoring evidence), and a red one (for disfavoring evidence). Drop the text on the corresponding square. The evidence is now associated with the hypothesis. Double click on NS to assess the relevance of the evidence to the hypothesis. Item of evidence from Science Daily – work by biologists at Penn Relevant for two of the sub-hypotheses (left side) Drop down menu – assess the relevance of the item based on the provided description – with Internet access, you can click on the link to read the entire article Drag and drop Drag and drop

Evaluating Evidence Assess credibility. Click on item of evidence. Click on Argument. Click on [evidence]. Drag and drop [evidence] onto green box under item of evidence. Jim provided instruction to his students about using author and publisher information in evaluating credibility. In order to prompt students consider these criteria, the sInvestigator design team built an additional feature to guide student thinking. Drag and drop

Evaluating Evidence Double click on NS to assess the author competence, author objectivity, and publication reputation. sInvestigator will generate a credibility rating. sInvestigator will use the likelihood ratings to generate a credibility rating. It is also possible to bypass lower levels of guidance and simply assign a credibility rating.

YOUR TURN Evaluate 3 items of evidence: Drag and drop evidence to associate with relevant hypothesis. Double click on NS to assess the relevance of the evidence to the hypothesis. Assess credibility. Click on item of evidence. Click on Argument. Click on [evidence]. Drag and drop [evidence] onto green box under item of evidence. Evaluate author competence, author objectivity, and publication reputation. sInvestigator will generate a credibility rating. Relevance Time – 15 minutes explanation – allow 10 minutes to engage with system Credibility

PLATE TECTONICS Class 10 Lesson Design What do we know? Direct Instruction How do we know? Evidence Search Evidence Evaluation Difference – students used Internet search to find relevant evidence

PLATE TECTONICS Learning Goals Search website for potential items of evidence to support scientific inquiry How was the Earth formed? What drives changes in the Earth’s surface? What are the different types of plate boundaries? Evaluate item relevance and credibility 15 minute lecture followed by 10 minutes with sInvestigator in collaborative groups Focus on responding to a scientific inquiry with supporting hypotheses to build an argument

In sInvestigator Click on the green “+” in the corner Select “08 – Plate Tectonics with Full Argument” Click on “Scen” to display argumentation Collapsed version of argumentation – you will see supporting hypotheses and sub hypotheses. Flash drive file – simulate internet search with 6 pieces of evidence, some of which were selected by the students during the class exercise. Open “sInvestigator Example Plate Tectonics Evidence” file from your flash drive.

Simulating Internet Search Open “sInvestigator Example Plate Tectonics Evidence” file from your flash drive. Highlight block of text in “Description” cell

Question 1 – How was the Earth formed? As you drag the text, two squares are displayed, a green one (for favoring evidence), and a red one (for disfavoring evidence). Drop the text on the corresponding square. The evidence is now associated with the hypothesis. Drag and drop Notice that evidence is not named By studying the remnant magnetizations in ancient meteorites, an MIT team has determined that the solar nebula — the vast of disc of gas and dust that ultimately gave rise to the solar system — lasted around 3 to 4 million years.

Question 1 – How was the Earth formed? Lifetime of solar nebula http://news.mit.edu/2017/scientists-estimate-solar-nebulas-lifetime-0209 Add a title and a URL to the evidence item. Save edited evidence item. Evaluate relevance and credibility.

YOUR TURN Evaluate 3 items of evidence Complete justification form for 1 item Drag and drop evidence text to associate with relevant hypothesis. Double click on NS to assess the relevance of the evidence to the hypothesis. Assess credibility. Click on item of evidence. Click on Argument. Click on [evidence]. Drag and drop [evidence] onto green box under item of evidence. Evaluate author competence, author objectivity, and publication reputation. sInvestigator will generate a credibility rating.
