In our elementary scientific educational field, there is a well-known scientific investigative method called Investigation and Colloquium Method (I-CM).The founder of Investigation and Colloquium Method is Brenda Lansdown from the Harvard University of America. In the 20th century about the early 80's, Brenda Lansdown came to China to promote Investigation and Colloquium Method . Brenda Lansdown selflessly dedicated over ten years of her services to our educational field. Brenda Lansdown believe it important to study teaching in Maoist and Marxist thinking in socialist country.Investigation and Colloquium Method is an excellent and modern thinking philosophy, impacted by John Dewey. Brenda Lansdown' Investigation and Colloquium Method originated from the physiological study of Lev Semenovich Vygotsky.what is Investigation and Colloquium Method ? It is a logical way of working through a scientific problem through self explanation and discovery. Brenda Lansdown perfected Investigation and Colloquium Method through her own working experiences. Investigation and Colloquium Method has its roots in physiology, sociology .and psychology. Investigation and Colloquium Method provides us with an innovative and advanced way of thinking and teaching.Investigation and Colloquium Method consists of 2 components--Investigation and analysis. Through Investigation and Colloquium Method , students will be able to experience the many aspects of science on their own through self explanation. In Investigation and Colloquium Method, the teacher is a facilitator, assisting the students in understanding and explaining the natural sciences. Brenda Lansdown's Investigation and Colloquium Method not only enable students to use their logical thinking in soloing scientific problems, but it also enables them to use this useful way of analytical thinking in their daily lives.Investigation and Colloquium Method is not also a revolution to the olden way of teaching science, but also an evolution of modern science.Investigation and Colloquium Method has deeply impacted and influenced our elementary scientific educational field for over twenty years. It has now become one of the most critical and essential teaching fool for our science teachers. Investigation and Colloquium Method has also proven it's superiority as an invaluable teaching strategy, as testing on students have shown positive results.Through the current wave of education revolution, curriculum planning and development have slowly begun to gain importance. However sadly our teaching strategies and thinking have yet to reach a breakthrough, to gain the same level of importance. It is hoped that by reviewing the merits of Brenda Lansdown's Investigation and Colloquium Method ,this would not only spur our educationalists to constantly challenge and upgrade themselves, but would also enable educationalists to use this useful fool in the many other aspects of teaching as well. We believe that Investigation and Colloquium Method (I-CM) must be applied far and wide...
