Objectives
Shades of Inquiry
Inquiry based learning
Passion based learning
Problem based learning
Project based learning
Inquiry Based Learning
Questions are generated and explored to gather knowledge
Cyclical process
Students will:
Generate new questions
Ask questions
Create hypotheses
Construct new knowledge
Share discoveries
Students apply the inquiry process to a topic about which they are passionate
Examples:
Genius Hour
Passion Project
20% Time
Passion Based Learning
Problem Based Learning
Students investigate and solve a real-world problem
A subset of project-based learning
Prescribed steps
Ill-Structured problem
Definition of problem
Generation of knowledge inventory
Generation of possible solutions
Self-directed learning
Sharing of solutions www.bie.org
Project Based Learning
Students design a project for an authentic purpose
Project may be written, oral, visual, multimedia
Discovery is a result of the project
The key to all of these approaches is learning through
Inquiry and Process.
