ABSL lesson pattern of group claim generation, public defence, and cross-group negotiation

Design · All designs
Evidence · 1 claim (1 for) · 1 study (1 causal), q2 · 0 of 1 report an effect size · 1 claim rests on one study

Description

A recurring lesson-level design in which students first form self-selected groups of 4-6 people, propose their own claims for a sample question on the blackboard, and solve questions by agreeing and discussing within the group. A group spokesman writes the solution on the blackboard while supporting claims with applicable information, and must convince the other groups, who support or invalidate the claim with solid evidence. The researcher fosters negotiation with questions such as "Do you agree with your friend's solution? Why?" and closes each example by summarizing the agreed solution.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Time allocated per question must account for the length and complexity of the sample question and the group discussions, as the article states

Constraints

  • The article notes ABSL lessons required more lesson time than traditional lessons due to the long duration of debate between groups

Target Learners

  • pre-service elementary school mathematics teachers

Learning Goals

  • probability problem solving
  • constructing and defending claims with evidence
