Resumen de The Pedagogical Power of Wonder Questions
There is no shortage of great pedagogical tools available, but many require considerable investment of time and effort (and oftentimes money and equipment), which can be a significant barrier for already time-poor teachers. Wonder Questions is a pedagogical tool that is simple, flexible, and pedagogically powerful in three ways: 1) it supports and stimulates student learning, 2) it models scientists’ behavior, and 3) it can be a powerful motivator for students and teachers alike. In short, Wonder Questions is a task that requires students to produce a question as opposed to an answer. It can be posed in the following way: “Write a Wonder Question. A Wonder Question is something you wonder about after having done the pre-work that is related to it but not necessarily covered by it.” Note that “Wonder Questions” refers to the pedagogical tool, whereas “Wonder Questions” refers to a set of actual student questions.
