Successful ways of stimulating pupils’ thinking include open, or “fat”, questions, which require pupils to explain an opinion, a point of view or their understanding of a topic/idea; and class and group discussions in a classroom climate that consistently reassures all pupils that their view is as important as everyone else’s. Many teachers are now using “wait time” to contribute to the development of this climate. They teach themselves and their pupils that, when a question is asked, no hands should shoot up – rather, everyone should be thinking about their own point of view on it and everyone might expect to be asked to give their view. The use of this approach in the early stages of the Assessment is for Learning Programme showed that it tended to bring into the discussion and into engagement with classwork many pupils who otherwise were often “dreaming” or “coasting”.
Expectation of “transformation of knowledge”, personal grasp, understanding linked to previous knowledge, explanation by pupils of what has been learned is a key aspect of social constructivism. One approach that promotes transformation of knowledge into “own words” is to design work in which pupils teach what they have learned individually or in groups to others. Making clear and acting on the expectation of “own words” explanations is, of course, another important means of stimulating pupils’ thinking. It demands that they make sense of new learning by linking it to what they already know and that it becomes their own. Much research evidence shows that when this kind of thinking does not happen and pupils either try to learn material by rote or make no intellectual effort to grasp it, it is quickly forgotten.
We know that all of our young people can make a great personal contribution, among their families, friends, schools, communities and to Scotland as a whole, if given the chance to do so. We want them to have the self-esteem to be confident, happy and ambitious. Our agenda is focused on helping each of our young people imagine a positive future for themselves and those around them and helping them to make that future possible”.
