WHAT IS INQUIRY-BASED TEACHING
ReplyDelete-Inquiry is the opposite of transmission.
-classroom is filled with the
voices of children taking an active role in their own
education.
- Curriculum is not just the facts and skills we
teach, but the knowledge they create together and the
understandings and connections that each learner
makes from that knowledge.
-inquiry is an inherent part of doing science.
-It's a common mistake that only the "investigation"
part is the inquiry.

What Inquiry Is Not: Group 4
ReplyDelete- Inquiry is not sitting at your desk doing worksheet work, but rather doing hands on assignments.
- It is not discovery learning, such as a free for all.
It is not letting students study what they want. Rather it being collaborative, investigative, and deeply intellectual.
- It does not mean that the teacher never lectures or never does whole class instruction.
- It requires the teacher to find just the right time to talk about certain topics.
Group 1
ReplyDelete- Most children aren't going to be an Einstein or a Thoreau. The kids now a days are indifferent to nature and the environment. They don't feel motivated to go to school. the way teachers teach them sometimes doesn't help them that's why they don't want to go to school.

ReplyDelete•Authenticity- It defines something that’s real. Ex: When you go buy a Michael Kors bag from the actual store it is real. When you buy the same bag off of the pulga it can be fake.
•The Work Space- Somewhere you can do your work. Ex: At home someone can have a room just for themselves to do homework and to study.
•Real-World Resources- Finding the source instead of reading off the text book. Ex: Interviewing people who lived through the war or watch movies and documentaries about the war.
•Multiple Perspectives and Multiple Answers- Ex: If there is a problem at work, a group of workers can get together and try to find a solution

ReplyDeleteSTUDENT-INITIATED INQUIRY
-imagine 1 hour period called exploratory, students work on topics and questions that have to do with their interest and not with school topics.
-giving children time in school to inquire into topics and questions that arouse the students to pursue a life of learning.
WHAT ABOUT CONTENT? STANDARDS? TEST
SCORES?
-learning through inquiry and learning content are seen as being mutually exclusive
-students may not be graphing out of a textbook but learn the same way by graphing real life data
