Abstract | This paper describes a Hong Kong teacher’s experience using knowledge building
and Knowledge Forum® to address the learning needs of students with low academic
achievement. Contrary to what most teachers would expect, even low-achieving students
respond well to knowledge building, and their discourse is of high quality compared to that
obtained in other knowledge-building classes in Hong Kong. The paper provides an account of
how the teacher used the knowledge building approach and his reflection on pedagogical
principles as well as the relevance and feasibility of learning-sciences approaches like
knowledge building in ordinary schools, where students lack academic skills and motivation. |
