7. Inquiry method
Traditional delivery
method:
Un sensore indossabile di valutazione discreta a
lungo termine dell'attività elettrodermica
Traditional delivery
method:
1.Post a question (Formulare una richiesta)
• Name every part of the cell you can
• List factors that contribute to global warming
• Name a food that is high in carbohydrates
2. Collect responses (Raccogliere le risposte)
• Cumulative list on board
• Identify gaps
Focused Listing
liste mirate
1.Think Pensare
• High-level question
• 1 minute: think individually about the problem
2.Pair Lavorare a coppie
• 2 minutes: Share thinking with partner
3.Share Condividere
• Whole class discussion
Think/Pair/Share
Minute paper 1 minuto per scrivere
• At end of class:
• “What was the most important thing you
learned during this class?”
• “What was most unclear to you from today’s
lecture?”
• During class:
• High-level thought question
• Index cards
• Hand them in
• Shuffle
• Read them, discuss

• Small bonus
• Bonus only granted if >80% of class knows the
correct answer

Group exams
Verifica di gruppo
• Turns an exam into a learning experience
• Short, objective exam
• Students hand in for grade
• Redistribute the same exam in groups
• Group earns bonus if group score > highest
individual score
Group exam
• Individual average = 67.4
• Range = 38-95
• Group average = 85.3
• Range = 77-93

The flipped classroom
Part 1
• Gli studenti studiano a casa le basi disciplinari
• Students prepare at home, learning the lowest-
level material (definitions, etc.)
• Book
• Recorded lectures (5-10 minute videos)
• Online materials
The flipped classroom
Part 2
• It tempo in aula viene cosi liberato per
approfondimenti, discussioni, e apprendimento
attivo
• Classroom time is then freed up for higher-
level learning, discussions, and active learning
• Teachers guide and advise students rather
than lecture
The flipped classroom
Benefits
• Aiuta gli studenti ad assumersi la responsabilità
del proprio apprendimento
• Helps students take responsibility for their
own learning
• Allows teachers to spend class time on hardest
material and interactions
http://flippedclassroom.org/
Just-in-time teaching
• Adattare la lezione per discutere solo gli
argomenti che gli studenti hanno più bisogno di
imparare
• Adapt lecture to discuss only material that
students most need to learn
• Requires technology
Peer instruction
• Obiettivo: aiutare gli studenti ad
assimilare e applicare le informazioni
in modo che capiscano veramente
• Goal: help students assimilate and
apply information so that they truly
understand it
• Requires feedback
Peer instruction

6. Flipped classroom
7.Inquiry method (Metodo di indagine)
Inquiry-based learning
• Porre domande, problemi o scenari per gli
studenti; il docente agisce da facilitatore
dell’indagine
• Pose questions, problems or scenarios to
students
• Teacher facilitates investigation
Inquiry-based learning
http://www.teachinquiry.com/
Case studies
• L'esame dettagliato di un caso di studio
particolare, in modo che gli studenti possono
applicare le conoscenze a una situazione del
mondo reale
• Detailed examination of a particular subject
• Used to apply knowledge to a real-world
situation
