Experience comes before explanation, students learned as part of the Experience, Patterns, Explanations presentation by Professor Kristin Gunckel.
The value of inquiry was emphasized in this lesson on science teacher preparation. Gunckel is taking part in Teacher Education for Excellence Study-Tour program, a collaboration with Nanjing Xiaozhuang and Nantong Universities. This program offers cultural experience and formal faculty presentations about our teacher preparation to the visiting group of just over a dozen undergraduate students.
