The teacher engages students in dialogue, continuously extending and refining students’ understanding. They support students to identify and define relationships between concepts and to generate principles or rules. The teacher selects contexts from familiar to unfamiliar, which progressively build the students’ ability to transfer and generalise their learning. The teacher supports students to create and test hypotheses and to make and justify decisions. They monitor student understanding, providing explicit feedback, and adjusting instruction accordingly. During this stage students are expected to to discover ways to expand on what they have learned and apply their newly found knowledge to different situations. Students may expand understanding of the concept to other content areas. Key areas for this stage involve problem, decision making and experimental inquiry.
