Inquiry is interdisciplinary Keri Smith (2008) How to be an explorer of the world. New York: Perigree

Inquiry underpins disciplinary thinking


2

Inquiry moves beyond fact finding


3

Inquiry moves beyond just fact finding tasks

Raises&standard&of&research&assignments&to&higher&level&by:&

!  Drawing on life experiences !  Learning from a wide range of sources !  Forming deep understanding !  Gaining sense of accomplishment !  Developing competence and expertise !  Helps student consolidate learning across subject

areas


4

Inquiry learning !  Is an approach to learning whereby students find and use a

variety of sources of information and ideas to increase their understanding of a problem, topic or issue

!  It requires more than simply answering questions or getting a right answer

!  It espouses investigation, exploration, search, quest, research, pursuit and study

!  Inquiry does not stand alone; it engages, interests and challenges students to connect their world within the curriculum

!  It is often an individual pursuit

!  Can be enhanced by being part of a community of learning

!  Without some guidance, inquiry learning can be daunting

!  Inquiry is not an add-on to the curriculum, it is a way of learning content, skills and values within the curriculum through inquiry

Inquiry Research by Carol Kuhlthau

Information Seeking Process (ISP) Affective Domain & Uncertainty Principle Guided Inquiry


9

The Uncertainty Principle

�…uncertainty, confusion and frustration are associated with vague, unclear thoughts about a topic or question�

!  a cognitive state

!  causes anxiety and lack of confidence

!  these affective symptoms can be expected in the early stages of the ISP


10

From Uncertainty to Understanding... ___________________________________________

uncertainty ------------- understanding T vague clear F anxious confident A exploring documenting

access ------------------- information ____________________________________________ 3 levels of experience: thinking (cognitive)

feeling (affective) acting (physical)


11

ISP stages "  Initiation: Research task is given to the students

"  Selection: Choice of topics within a curriculum theme

"  Exploration: Building background knowledge, encountering many perspectives

"  Formulation: Selection of focus question

"  Collection: Accessing and using complex information

"  Presentation: Presenting outcome of research

"  Assessment: Reflection on learning process and learning outcomes

Inquiry-centred pedagogy & ISP

Students develop capacity to:

!  think beyond the immediate situation to consider the ‘big picture’ before focusing on the detail (Exploration)

!  suspend judgment about a situation to consider alternative pathways (Exploration)

! pose insightful and purposeful questions (Formulation)

! apply strategies to uncover meaning and make reasoned judgments (Collection)

!  reflect on thinking, actions and processes (all stages, Assessment)

"(Todd, 2011)


14

Inquiry-centred pedagogy & ISP Students develop capacity to:

! generate and develop ideas and possibilities (Collection)

! analyse information logically and make reasoned judgements (Collection)

! evaluate ideas and create solutions and draw conclusions (Collection)

! assess the feasibility, possible risks and benefits in the implementation of their ideas (Collection, Assessment)

!  create meaningful representations of their deep knowledge (Presentation)

16

Implications of Kuhlthau's ISP

"  Learning is an individual process, even though the same information process model is used

"  Knowledge is constructed based on past experience

"  TLs & teachers must develop expertise in dealing with individual student's affective concerns when completing information tasks


17

What we now know....

"  No matter how many times we use an information process, a certain level of uncertainty will always affect student's completion of information tasks when encountering new or 'unique' information

"  TLs & teachers must employ a range of strategies during learning process to assist students to cope with the uncertainty principle

Introducing Guided Inquiry....

�The(information(age(calls(for(transforming(schools(to(meet(new(challenges�(

(

"  Guided inquiry is a new learning and instructional model

"  Occurs in a collaborative learning environment led by an instructional team

"  Learning from a variety of sources "  Inquiry process for deep understanding 'unique'

information


20

Guided Inquiry...

�... is carefully planned, closely supervised targeted intervention(s )of an instructional team of school librarians and teachers to guide students through curriculum based inquiry units that build deep knowledge and deep understanding of a curriculum topic, and gradually lead towards independent learning.��
