I am exploring the world of action research and through my action research I will be focusing on the question "How does a shift from a teacher-centered classroom to a student-centered classroom increase student engagement in the middle school science classroom?"
In order to answer this question I have planned to integrate a five part plan into my daily science curriculum with the focus being on labs and experiments. The five parts include: engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration and extension and evaluation. These five parts will be the outline for the labs and activities completed in the science classroom. Students will learn about the five parts and will set-up and complete their labs using these five components. It is my hope through these five steps that students will be more engaged in their science learning and will feel that their classroom is student-centered.
