Ms. Jules felt that doing constructivist inquiry-based science with twenty-seven students in her class was impossible. Her biggest complaint was that there was no organized manner to record what the students really knew. Which of her colleagues provided her with the best counter-argument?
A) Ms. Rotel told her that she could just do an activity every other week and that would make it easier to keep track of what the students knew.
B) Mr. Hempstead stated that even though you did science activities with your students you could still give multiple choice/fill in the blank tests to determine what they learned.
C) Ms. Copertino stated that it really was easy to keep track of the concepts or skills the children were learning, and then provided Ms. Jules with a systematic observation guide she used in her class and showed Ms. Jules how to use it.
D) Ms. Polel said to use cooperative groups and to give them worksheets, which the students filled out together and turned in to the teacher for a grade.
E) Mrs. Hartman felt it best to ask the students to turn in a sheet of paper at the end of each class stating how they felt about today's lesson. She stated that gave her a pretty good idea of what her students learned for the day.
