How to teach science engagingly and effectively is high on the
education and STEM (science, technology, engineering and
mathematics) agenda. This book describes the thesis which set out
to understand how and why teacher's pedagogy influences the nature
of pupils learning together. The study examined how social
interactions may benefit or impede cognitive development, and thus
inform the teaching approach required in a secondary school
setting, to support effective pupil learning. Teachers' and pupils'
perspectives of learning in groups, to carry out practical tasks,
were compared and contrasted. Peers were observed working together
on tasks of similar context, but differentiated scaffolded support.
Examination of their exchanges and practical resolutions suggested
how varied scaffolding influences the social and cognitive
processes as well as task outcomes. Experiential reflection, with
teachers, through interactive INSET activities illuminated
pedagogical approaches that could be used effectively in
classrooms, with trios of pupils, to enhance thinking capability
and enrich learning outcomes.
