Abstract: | Our study conducted in a Grade 11 Biology classroom focused on supporting students’ development of the 21st Century Competencies, NOS understandings, and students’ STEM identity. A scientific learning community approach, supported by technology, was implemented to improve inquiry-based learning and students’ collaboration and thinking processes. Students co-constructed a common knowledge base to make connections across topics. Our findings showed a potential of a learning community approach in helping students develop the competencies of critical thinking about resources, collaboration, and scientific argumentation, and explore their STEM identities. |
