Flick, Lawrence B.
Journal of Science Teacher Education, v11 n2 p109-29 May 2000
Analyzes the practices of two skilled and experienced middle level teachers with regard to research-based criteria for cognitive scaffolding in support of inquiry-oriented teaching. Research questions include: (1) what do skilled, experienced teachers do when scaffolding inquiry-oriented instruction; and (2) in what ways do they align with research-based criteria for scaffolding and inquiry-oriented instruction?
