Teacher’s role: the teacher is coaching, inquisitive and supportive, encouraging thinking, explaining and rethinking

• Let students explain their choices (e.g., “Why do you think these belong together?”) encourages argumentation
• Exploring alternatives (e.g., “Could you have hesitated between two concepts?”) discussing doubts and alternatives
• Reflecting on how they arrived at their answer (e.g., “How did you decide?”) encourages reflection on their choices
• Questioning descriptions (e.g., “What makes you think this description doesn’t fit?”) promotes critical evaluation.
