Go-Lab Deliverable D1.4 Go-Lab classroom scenarios handbook
Abstract
This deliverable presents the Go-Lab scenarios handbook. This handbook offers six
different scenarios that are meant to help teachers design ILSs. Each scenario
represents a specific pedagogical method within the overall Go-Lab inquiry
approach. The six Go-Lab inquiry scenarios are labelled as follows:
• The basic scenario
• The jigsaw approach
• Six changing hats
• Learning by critiquing
• Structured controversy
• Find the mistake
In a later stage, when a suitable modelling tool has been found or created we will
add a seventh scenario, Learning by modelling.
Each scenario is characterised by a dedicated set of inquiry phases with specific
activities within those phase.
The current deliverable presents an extended description of all six scenarios,
including considerations for design and background information. In that respect it
can be seen as a “reference book”. The scenarios are further offered in Graasp, the
Go-Lab authoring environment (www.graasp.eu). Graasp will offer teachers the
opportunity to select a specific scenario and after selecting a scenario a pre-
structured ILS is offered with the correct phases and a brief description of the design
of each phase in the ILS. The content of these descriptions from Graasp is also
offered in this handbook (Chapter 2). Each scenario also has links to example ILSs
that follow the scenario.
This scenario handbook also contains a series of “tips and tricks” (T&T) for creating
ILS, These handy tips for creating ILSs are also offered on the Go-Lab support
platform (http://go-lab-project.eu/tips-tricks).
The approach we have taken to create the scenarios and the T&Ts has been a
combination of a top-down and bottom-up approach. Part of the work has been
inspired by the literature (e.g., Weinberger et al., 2011) and part was extracted from
ongoing work of creating ILSs. These have been ILSs created by the Go-Lab team
(around 25 in number) and ILSs created by a large set of teachers, for example in
Go-Lab Erasmus courses and the Go-Lab 2014 and 2015 summer schools in
Marathon. This scenario handbook therefore reflects the current theoretical state of
the art together with a grounding in actual teacher practices.
This deliverable will be followed by a “pretty print” version that can be used as a
scenario handbook for Go-Lab.
