10. The goal of our research on ADI so far has been to document what students learn over a course of year when teachers design their lab activities using the instructional model (and then use this information to make ADI more effective). We are NOT trying to determine if one method of instruction is better than another one. Argument-Driven Inquiry and Science Proficiency

11. As the teachers teach during the year, we collect*: Pre and Post year assessments of science proficiency Video-recordings of what the teachers do during each lab activity Video-recordings of some groups of students as they work during some of the labs Copies of the students investigation reports * This information is only collected from the students that are participating in the study (i.e., their parents have given consent and the student has given his/her assent) Argument-Driven Inquiry and Science Proficiency

17. In order to examine the impact of ADI on the development of science proficiency, we look at the amount of gain students make on the assessments 1.Determine if the there is a statistical significant difference in the students’ scores at the beginning of the year and the end of the year 2.If there is a statistical difference, we calculate effect sizes to describe the magnitude of the difference (allows us to compare gains made on different assessments) Argument-Driven Inquiry and Science Proficiency

35. Argument-Driven Inquiry is an efficient use of instructional time because it allows teachers to focus on multiple standards at the same time rather than devote class time to each standard independent of the others. Argument-Driven Inquiry and Science Proficiency

37. Biology 1 (#2000310) GENERAL NOTES Laboratory investigations that include the use of scientific inquiry, research, measurement, problem solving, laboratory apparatus and technologies, experimental procedures, and safety procedures are an integral part of this course. The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) recommends that at the high school level, all students should be in the science lab or field, collecting data every week. School laboratory investigations (labs) are defined by the National Research Council (NRC) as an experience in the laboratory, classroom, or the field that provides students with opportunities to interact directly with natural phenomena or with data collected by others using tools, materials, data collection techniques, and models (NRC, 2006, p. 3). Laboratory investigations in the high school classroom should help all students develop a growing understanding of the complexity and ambiguity of empirical work, as well as the skills to calibrate and troubleshoot equipment used to make observations. Learners should understand measurement error; and have the skills to aggregate, interpret, and present the resulting data (National Research Council, 2006, p.77; NSTA, 2007).

38. The FDOE has has assigned 83 standards to this course. Teachers are expected to make sure that all of their students have developed the knowledge and skills outlined in these standards. Argument-Driven Inquiry and Science Proficiency

39. 83 standards 180 school days = 2.17 days/standard Argument-Driven Inquiry and Science Proficiency

40. Six of the standards assigned to the biology course are related to scientific inquiry (7% of the total) Argument-Driven Inquiry and Science Proficiency

41. SC.912.N.1.1 Define a problem based on a specific body of knowledge, for example: biology, chemistry, physics, and earth/space science, and do the following: 1.Pose questions about the natural world 2.Conduct systematic observations, 3.Examine books and other sources of information to see what is already known, 4.Review what is known in light of empirical evidence, 5.Plan investigations, 6.Use tools to gather, analyze, and interpret data 7.Pose answers, explanations, or descriptions of events, 8.Generate explanations that explicate or describe natural phenomena (inferences), 9.Use appropriate evidence and reasoning to justify these explanations to others, 10.Communicate results of scientific investigations, and 11.Evaluate the merits of the explanations produced by other Argument-Driven Inquiry and Science Proficiency

42. Twenty-Six of the standards are related to reading, writing, and speaking in science (31% of the total) Argument-Driven Inquiry and Science Proficiency

43. LACC.910.WHST.1.1 Write arguments focused on discipline-specific content. 1.Introduce precise claim(s), distinguish the claim(s) from alternate or opposing claims, and create an organization that establishes clear relationships among the claim(s), counterclaims, reasons, and evidence. 2.Develop claim(s) and counterclaims fairly, supplying data and evidence for each while pointing out the strengths and limitations of both claim(s) and counterclaims in a discipline-appropriate form and in a manner that anticipates the audience’s knowledge level and concerns. Argument-Driven Inquiry and Science Proficiency

44. ADI allows teachers to hit all 32 of inquiry and reading, writing, and speaking standards (38% of the total) over and over again without sacrificing content Argument-Driven Inquiry and Science Proficiency

45. If we assume that a teacher does 6 ADI labs a year and it takes 5 instructional days/lab, then a teacher will only devote 30 instructional days to ADI over the course of a academic year. This means the teacher can address 32 standards 6 different times in 30 instructional days. This is a far more efficient use of time than addressing 32 standards 1 time in 64 instructional days* *Assumes that a teacher devotes 2 instructional day to each standard Argument-Driven Inquiry and Science Proficiency

46. ADI saves time, allows students to practice complex skills more, and enables teachers to teach for conceptual understanding. Argument-Driven Inquiry and Science Proficiency

47. How can teachers learn more about ADI? Argument-Driven Inquiry and Science Proficiency

48. We have a book called Argument- Driven Inquiry in Biology (available from NSTA press in March) It includes 28 ADI laboratory activities for biology We will also have books for Chemistry, Physics, Earth-Space Science, Middle School Life Science, and Middle School Physical Science Argument-Driven Inquiry and Science Proficiency
