A Story About Thinking: Monitoring Teachers’ Complex Thinking While Engaging in Philosophical Inquiry

• In Event: Maximizing the Impact of Teachers With Learning Technologies

Abstract

The purpose of this work was to study how collaboration and complex thinking unfold within a small group of in-service teachers as they were learning about the P4C program. We set up an online learning environment and we organized the activity in four major steps to scaffold teacher’s complex thinking while engaging in philosophical inquiry. In this article, we present the evolution of complex thinking of one group of teachers by studying their interactions in depth.
