Sabel, Jaime L.; Forbes, Cory T.; Flynn, Leslie – International Journal of Science Education, 2016
Science learning environments should provide opportunities for students to make sense of and enhance their understanding of disciplinary concepts. Teachers can support students' sense-making by engaging and responding to their ideas through high-leverage instructional practices such as formative assessment (FA). However, past research has shown…
