Science Learning and Language Learners Helen Quinn

Foundational Capacities for all learning Language (any language, more than 1 is better) Analysis and Reasoning Representation and symbolization Social and emotional Capacity development is important at all grade levels! (credit to Bethica Quinn, Centro Las Olas)

Science as an arena For foundational capacity development For learning to learn For experiences that enrich learning and language All students need science learning opportunities!

A new vision for Science Learning A Framework for k-12 Science Education (National Research Council, ) Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) (26 lead states coordinated by Achieve) nextgenscience.org Adopted by CA and 11+ other states

Framework and NGSS: Three Dimensions Scientific and engineering practices Crosscutting concepts Disciplinary core ideas NGSS –standards as performance tasks that involve all 3 Example (grade 3 PS –forces and motion) Plan and conduct an investigation (practice) to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces (ccc) on the motion of an object (dci)

Le savant doit ordonner ; on fait la science avec des faits comme une maison avec des pierres ; mais une accumulation de faits n'est pas plus une science qu'un tas de pierres n'est une maison. The knower must organize (the knowledge); one builds science with the facts (data), as (one builds) a house with the stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house. Jules Henri Poincaré (29 April 1854 – 17 July 1912)

Students must build 3d science knowledge structures Make conceptual changes from their pre-conceptions

To build a house Need building materials—stones, planks, bricks, …. Disciplinary core ideas Need tools and experience using them Science and Engineering practices Need some idea of what you are trying to build, some big ideas about the nature of houses Crosscutting Concepts

**Scientific and Engineering Practices 1. Asking questions and defining problems 2. Developing and using models 3. Planning and carrying out investigations 4. Analyzing and interpreting data 5. Using mathematics and computational thinking 6. Developing explanations and designing solutions 7. Engaging in argument from evidence 8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information ** Discourse intensive!

Crosscutting Concepts 1.Patterns 2.Cause and effect: mechanism and explanation 3.Scale, proportion and quantity 4.Systems and system models 5.Energy and matter: flows, cycles and conservation 6.Structure and function 7.Stability and change All suggest ways to approach a problem, questions to ask

How science understanding develops Multiple opportunities to hear and use science ideas and practices Rich contexts (phenomena and materials) create desire and opportunity to engage and contribute Appropriate supports Acceptance of flawed (non-scientific) language and incomplete ideas

How language develops Multiple opportunities to hear and use language Rich contexts (experiences) to create desire and opportunity to engage and contribute Appropriate supports Acceptance of flawed language (while still supporting language development)

Science class is a language development opportunity IF Classroom discourse is managed for inclusion Appropriate and varied language development supports for all students Attempt to make meaning must be valued over correctness of either language or science ideas

Some science specific language challenges Technical terminology (word redefinitions or inventions) “academic” usage (analyze, consequently …) Multi-phrase sentence structure, many referents (it, that…) Nominalization (whole concepts turned into single words such as respiration, adaptation…) Need for precision

Every student is a science language learner Attention to language challenges benefits all students What additional supports ELL students need depends on their language level Priority given to participation and science meaning making over correctness

Science specific language opportunities Diagrams, graphs and tables augment text Manipulation of real objects and phenomena Diversity of topics and associated language to be explored Design opportunities that connect to real world problems

Engagement in practices As a tool to learn science and engineering As a way to understand the nature of science (with reflection) As a language development opportunity CCSSO Resources: A Framework for ELPD Standards Development -- Tables

IQWST Assessment: Modeling Smell Lesson 15: student models –75% of students create a particle model, 25% a mixed model –68% of students include odor particles that are moving in straight lines until they collide into each other; 32% include both odor and air Your teacher opened a jar that contained a substance that had an odor. Imagine you had a very powerful microscope that allowed to see the odor up really, really close. What would you see?

What do teachers need to know how to do to? Support science discourse (in the context of science practices) Support science literacy development Ensure that process is inclusive, for students at all levels of language development and science knowledge

Supporting science discourse Set up science problem situations that prompt rich discourse Support productive discourse in varying group arrangements from whole class to paired students Prompt and question students to build on and extend science ideas and language usage (their own and that of others)

Support literacy in and for science Understand what makes science text different (discipline specific variants) Help students develop science-specific reading strategies Support students to keep and use science journals Assign formal science writing and verbal presentation opportunities

Teacher challenge Be aware of both the language learning needs and the science learning needs and progress of each student Formative assessment during learning tasks, (not just separate assessment tasks) How can teachers record and analyze progress? (eg through photos, and audio or video clips of activity in the classroom, as well as written student products)

Integrated Professional Development for 3d science learning language and literacy development in the science classroom assessment strategies that support meaningful science learning and inform subsequent teaching All are unfamiliar to many science teachers
