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
