本章主要介绍了合作推理作为一种不同于教师授课的教学方法在提高学生高级思维方面的显著作用。正是因为合作推理的积极作用,这种交互式教学法应当在课堂上更广泛地使用,而不仅仅限于阅读训练。合作推理的顺利实施依赖于教师和学生的合作。学生应当增强自主学习意识,在讨论中积极发言,围绕核心问题自由选择讨论的话题,清晰地表达自己的观点,尊重他人的观点并给出合理的反馈。教师则要鼓励学生自由发言,把自主权交给学生,在讨论过程中示范如何提出论点和论据,如何为自己的论证提供证据支持,以及如何与他人合作。如果学生欠缺必要的背景知识,教师需要在开始小组讨论之前为学生补充这方面的知识,在开始讨论之后及时纠错以保证讨论可以高效地完成。总结起来,合作推理的目的是给学生提供一个平台,以便学生在自己的最近发展区内提升认知能力和交流能力。课堂,作为学生最频繁互动和交流的场所,应当成为学生营造集体意识,积极共享信息的平台,从而促进学生认知能力和高级思维的发展。
摘要Abstract
This book chapter reviewed the literatures on how Collaborative Reasoning (CR), a self-managed, peed-led discussion format, promotes learners’ higher-order thinking.Children who participated in CR discussion showed great improvements in argumentation, relational thinking, and problem solving.The positive results of CR approach suggested that it is a promising instructional format to be implemented in classrooms.A successful CR discussion relies on the collaboration of teacher and students.Teachers are supposed to release the control of interpretation, turn taking, topic, and content learning to students.Students, on the other hand, should take more responsibility for managing the discussion and articulating their thinking.In the end, this chapter mentioned several weaknesses of CR approach and provided suggestions for teachers to adjust the implementation of CR approach to learning contexts and students’ needs.
