1 | 3:28 min | T begins the session by collecting the students’ associations on the term “blood” (example answers: “Body”, “Heart”, “Dracula”). T then asks the students to eliminate those answers that are not relevant to the biology context (e.g., “Dracula”). T then states the circulatory system as the topic of the session | Group focus (PPK; student-centered) Elicitation of prior knowledge (PPK; student-centered)* Diagnosis of misconceptions (PCK; student-centered)* * although quite superficially |
2 | 1:48 min | T asks if someone has already heard about the circulatory system and could explain how the blood flows through the body. Two students utter the “back-and-forth”-misconception, one student (S3) utters the “two-cycle”-misconception | Elicitation of prior knowledge (PPK; student-centered) Diagnosis of misconceptions (PCK; student-centered) Reacting to incorrect answers (PPK; student-centered & instructive) |
3 | 2:31 min | T sits down near S3 who holds the “two-cycle”-misconception and asks her to explain in detail how she imagines these two cycles. He then asks her how the oxygen would come to the legs if there were two completely separate cycles. While T focuses on S3, the other students lose interest and start doodling and chatting. T finishes his explanation for S3 with the question “Did you understand that?” | Diagnosis of misconceptions (PCK; student-centered) Initiating cognitive conflict (PCK; student-centered) Group focus (PPK; instructive) Assessment of understanding (PPK; instructive) |
4 | 0:24Â min | T turns to the rest of the group again, students stop chatting and doodling. T then puts a schematic diagram of the circulatory system onto the whiteboard and asks S3 to show the other students how she imagines the blood to flow | Group focus (PPK; student-centered & instructive) Checking for modifications (PCK; student-centered) |
