Eliciting Student Thinking
I was recently reading the January/February 2024 issue of \u201cScience Scope,\u201d a publication of the National Science Teaching Association, for middle school science teachers.
In this issue, I read the \u201cEditorial\u201d section written by Patty McGinnis.\xa0 She wrote an article entitled, \u201cEliciting Student Thinking.\u201d
Eliciting student thinking is a high-leverage practice in which the teacher utilizes questions and tasks that encourage and promote student thinking and sharing of ideas.
