Provoking Probe



Name: Lisa and Sarah


Description:
  • Agency for independent experiences
  • Opportunities to enter ZPD
  • Ongoing reflection supported


First idea: What kind of provocation interests or connects the learner?  During weeks 7-9, learners will be focusing on the significance of Matariki.  This will be an opportunity for us to use a variety of provocations each day and notice the connections learners make, e.,g paper craft, images/word prompt, music.


Reimagined idea:  Does a question provoke our learners’ curiosity?
Write a provoking question related to the iExperience topic on a whiteboard and see what happens.


Indications of Success: Learners discuss the questions with each other, justify their ideas, change their thinking, listen to each other, come up with questions, make connections with the iExperience sessions.


Indications of Failure: Learners don’t discuss the question with each other or ask any questions.


Amplification: Use the same strategy of provoking questions to guide learners through their iExplore topics.

Dampening: Stop using questions
