Abstract: | Utilizing students’ scientific uncertainty as a resource for deep learning opportunities has been introduced for productive sensemaking in science education. However, productively managing the emerging uncertainty is challenging for teachers and students in that they are often frustrated by or ignore the uncertainty during sensemaking. It also remains unclear what drives or obstructs sensemaking when students are learning science concepts, and when the process advances or recedes. This paper aims to suggest a conceptual framework to understand how uncertainty management can facilitate students’ sensemaking so that they can experience productive struggle. To develop the framework, this theoretical paper explores sources and types of scientific uncertainty, and how the management of these uncertainties does or does not promote the productiveness of students’ struggle during sensemaking. Lastly, a framework is proposed to translate the theoretical constructs into classroom practices. |
