Instructional Framework

The Data Puzzles Instructional Framework utilizes the four pedagogical practices of Ambitious Science Teaching, the gold standard in three-dimensional learning, to support student sense-making of natural phenomena. With support from AST co-author and Data Puzzles team member, Melissa Braaten, the four AST practices have been adapted to create the Data Puzzle Instructional Framework described below. Note that example prompts and models from "The Tipping Point" Data Puzzle have been used to illustrate the connections across the four practices.
