2. Background
• POE strategy used to uncover individual students’ predictions, and
their reasons for making these, about a specific event (White and
Gunstone, 1992)
• Uses:
• find students' initial ideas
• provide teachers with information about students’ thinking
• generate discussion
• motivate students to want to explore the concept
• generate investigations.
3. Steps
Step 1: Demonstrate
• Set up a demonstration of an event, related to the focus topic, that may
surprise students, and which can be observed.
• Tell the students what you are going to be doing.
Step 2: Predict
• Ask the students to independently write their prediction of what will
happen.
• Ask them what they think they will see and why they think this.
Step 3: Observe
• Carry out the demonstration.
• Allow time to focus on observation.
• Ask students to write down what they do observe.
Step 4: Explain
• Ask students to amend or add to their explanation to take account of the
observation.
• After students have committed their explanations to paper, discuss their
ideas together.

8. Outcomes
• Informed by social contructivism
• The collaborative use of the POE computer tasks is
designed to facilitate peer discussions and promote
conceptual development and consensual meaning-
making in the domain of science:
• Articulation and justification of a student’s own ideas
• Reflection on the viability of other students’ ideas.
• Critical reflection on a student’s own ideas.
• Construction and negotiation of new ideas.
