Teaching Science like Scientists
D.R.i.V.e. Inquiry
Inquiry-based learning (IBL) is a student-centered, constructivist instructional approach where students learn through investigating and solving problems. The DRiVe framework is a valuable tool for teachers looking to implement IBL in their classrooms by providing a structured approach that helps students plan and conduct their experiments. This framework accommodates various levels of inquiry, from structured to open, making it adaptable for diverse learners and learning objectives.

Understanding the Challenges
Teachers are doing all they can with the time and resources they have.
Many challenges can make it difficult for teachers to implement inquiry-based learning (IBL) effectively. These challenges range from practical considerations to more profound shifts in teaching philosophy and practice.

V...Is for VARIATE (Experiment)
The DRiVe framework scaffolds scientific inquiry by providing students with a structured, inquiry-based approach to designing and conducting experiments.
This phase is where students design and conduct experiments or engage in structured investigations to test their research questions and explore the relationships between variables.
The DRiVe framework offers two options for this phase: the Experiment AND/OR the Predict, Explain, Observe, Explain (PEOE) options.

Assessment within DRiVe: A Case Study
Assessment in the DRiVe framework should be ongoing and should focus on both the process of inquiry and the content knowledge gained. Use a variety of formative and summative assessment strategies to monitor student understanding and progress.
