    Q1: In the wake of the 1996 National Science Education Standards, there was a de-emphasis on reading in science. How does the inclusion of the practice of Obtaining, Evaluating, & Communicating Information in the Framework for K-12 Science Education & NGSS change that? #NGSSchat

  • MsB_Reilly May 3 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: Obtaining info requires Ss to read real scientific content (not just textbooks!) to figure out their phenomena. And evaluate sources for reliability. I'm currently working with my Media Specialist to help students use databases to find evidence to answer their Qs! #NGSSchat
  • BKd204Sci May 3 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1 The reading in sci is not to teach Ss content, but to help them understand & figure out #phenomenon #NGSSchat
  • kmgill135 May 3 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    This practice does not mean we have students read and answer questions. Many important skills ARE part of this practice. #NGSSChat
  • JMNorrisISP May 3 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: Interesting perspective bc many focus on need for textbooks as the way to teach science. OE&CI heightens reading in science from passive to active. #ngsschat

    @tjscience I am a mad man!! #NGSSchat
  • FredEnde - Moderator May 3 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1. By being so explicit about grabbing, thinking about, and using information, the NGSS clearly speaks to why science educators need to be thinking reading/writing as well. #NGSSchat
    In reply to @Ted_NSTA
  • BMSscienceteach May 3 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1) It helps to have the students searching for resources to help them understand a phenomena or to justify a claim. They have to find, analyze and evaluate them. This is a skill that must be learned. #NGSSchat
  • Ted_NSTA May 3 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    What are students doing then, Kathy? #NGSSchat

  • ICEasterly May 3 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1: In order to obtain information, Ss read text that is simultaneously evaluated for validity; new information has to be communicated effectively. Speaking and listening strands. #NGSSchat
  • krademaker May 3 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1 I feel the emphasis is more about reading about topics, collecting info from many places and being able to put it together in a meaning way. Way diff than reading a txetbook #NGSSchat
  • Ted_NSTA May 3 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    What should we science educators be reading, Fred? #NGSSchat

    What is the advantage of using a variety of sources? #NGSSchat
    In reply to @lauravoges
  • MsB_Reilly May 3 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    And, it's a great way to tie in limitations in our own abilities to collect evidence. We want to make a claim about human evolution, but don't have the tools to find our own evidence? Let's use the evidence other scientists have already found that support our claim! #NGSSchat
    In reply to @BMSscienceteach
  • teachearthspace May 3 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A1: I think it shifts the emphasis from actual reading comprehension to critical thinking and reasoning. The information students seek can be data they’ve collected or information found. They have to analyze it and justify claims based on that information. #NGSSchat
    • Ted_NSTA May 3 @ 9:07 PM EDT

    Great Article! #NGSSchat
  • BKd204Sci May 3 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    Reading/literacy in #FigureItOut mode has Ss focus on the process of science, not just factual recall When Ss think process they question process & keep figuring things out at their pace in their language #NGSSchat

  • hoolie1julie May 3 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A1 as an elem teacher reading is always (or should be) integrated so obtaining,evaluating, and comm info is a natural. It's less hand on but a great opportunity to utilize current trends in technology #NGSSchat
  • BMSscienceteach May 3 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    @NGSS_tweeps Needs you. It needs you to be willing to take a risk and open up your classroom to the world. Be brave, take a chance. Volunteer to take a week at the helm. It is a great experience. DM me or @VogelWendi #NGSSchat
  • tjscience May 3 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A1: It really connects to authentic experiences in science - scientists don't just read science for no reason, they dig into informational texts to find answers to new questions that arise #NGSSchat #NGSS

  • FredEnde - Moderator May 3 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    Quite a bit. And so should students. Whether it be books, articles, journals, blog posts, etc. reading is more than simply regurgitating words on a page! #NGSSchat

    Agreed! So different from the ping pong reading emphasis of previous standards! #NGSSchat

    A2. I might say that reading to learn has to involve obtaining, evaluating, and communicating. Otherwise, has learning taken place? #NGSSchat
    In reply to @Ted_NSTA
  • MrMusselman May 3 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2: Including variety of media in standards charges teachers to support students in dev skills to extract relevant info from them. #ngsschat
  • BMSscienceteach May 3 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    My plan is to have them walk through a "search", find various sources, and then begin the more difficult part of verifying the sources. #ngsschat I want to work with my LA teacher on this as well.
    In reply to @FriendArlene
  • HenSciTeachR May 3 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2: The evaluating piece is what makes obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information different from a traditional textbook. I struggle with how to assess students on the "evaluating." #NGSSchat
  • ICEasterly May 3 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2: A major shift I’ve noticed is the information is there. We can find anything we want to learn. It’s now what we do with the information. More application of learning vs throwing out textbook lingo. Plus the text is just one source written from one perspective. #NGSSchat
  • kmgill135 May 3 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    And also how we put info out to others. Kids love tech to record their voices, draw pictures, make videos as a way to show their thinking #ngsschat

  • MsB_Reilly May 3 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    Sometimes there is such an emphasis on getting college ready by students teaching themselves through reading, that this point gets lost - They can read for a quiz, or a test, but it's not long lasting! #NGSSChat

    A2: I've seen at the elementary level the communicating part - especially communicating a claim or solution, allows kids at all academic levels, to be superstar experts - a real confidence booster as well as becoming owners of their learning #NGSSchat
  • teachearthspace May 3 @ 9:21 PM EDT
    A2: “reading to learn” looked like a ping pong match. What word is bolded? Does it go in this blank? Where is the glossary? Ss just jumped through the Ts hoops. OEC ties to the phenomena & Ss have engagement with the information because they want to figure out. #NGSSchat

  • JMNorrisISP May 3 @ 9:21 PM EDT
    A2: The progression is helpful here. We’re moving Ss from reading about scientific facts and discoveries, towards carefully using text and other media as resources to explain phenomena and make their own connections and discoveries. #ngsschat
