14. Classroom
the teacher searches for students’
understandings of concepts, and then
structures opportunities for students to
refine or revise by posing contradictions,
presenting new information, asking
questions, encouraging research, and/or
engaging students in inquiries designed to
challenge current concepts.
(brooks and brooks 1999)
