Guided Inquiry and Digital Video Technologies in the Elementary Science Classroom

• In Event: SMT - Digital Video Use in the Classroom

Short Description

Student-created video projects developed within the framework of guided inquiry, help learners shift from a focus on abstract, scientific concepts to practical scientific applications. This ongoing, qualitative case study investigates the design and development of a guided inquiry unit integrating digital video technologies. The unit, delivered to preservice elementary science teachers, models 21st century learning experiences of physical science concepts such as force and motion.
