Argument-Driven Inquiry is an instructional model that
gives students an opportunity to learn how to use DCIs, CCs, and SEPs to explain
natural phenomena and creates a learning environment where students are able to
talk, read, and write in the service of sensemaking.
TAKEAWAYS:
• How to use this instructional model, or way of teaching, to give students an opportunity to learn how to use the DCIs, CCs, and SEPs to make sense of natural phenomena.
• How to give students an opportunity to use their own ideas and ways of communicating to talk, read, and write in the service of sense-making
• How to give students more opportunities to decide what counts as valid and acceptable and develop new criteria for what counts evidence in science.
