In the video, 'CER-Claim Evidence Reasoning' explains the concept of the 'Claim, Evidence, Reasoning' framework, which is a method used to construct a logical argument by stating a claim, providing supporting evidence, and then explaining how that evidence logically connects to the claim; essentially, it's a structured way to explain your thinking behind an answer to a question, often used in academic settings like science or social studies (McNeill & Martin, 2011). My definition of the CER framework and how this approach supports inquiry teaching and learning; CER provides a structured approach to critical thinking that encourages students to make a statement towards a claim. By using CER students can engage in critical thinking more which will increase their learning to develop relevant data or observations of evidence. Students can logically explain how the evidence connects to their claim. All students should be able to demonstrate their understanding of a concept through reasoning. In the classroom, students can engage in activity ideas, building strategies, and student-friendly explanations of complex concepts. Students can even use digital learning by watching short videos and clips that directly relate to the unit plan topic. As an educator, I will need to focus on adding different learning styles within my classroom. I also want to make my unit plan more dynamic and visually appealing for my students. I believe all of these resources will contribute to my overall unit plan.
