View Organizers What is Inquiry Based Learning? Inquiry based learning is mainly involving the learner and leading him to understand. Inquiry here implies on the possessing skills and attitude of yours, which allows you to ask questions about new resolutions and issues while you are gaining new information. Dictionary meaning of Inquiry is seeking knowledge , information, or truth through questioning. All the people carry on with this process throughout their life, even if you might find it not very much reflecting. For example, infants use inquiry to build their sense of the world, the babies turn towards voices, put things in their mouths, grasp things, and observe faces that come near. The inquiry process is mainly the gathering of data and information and applying them to senses like smelling, tasting, touching, hearing and seeing. Very sadly, our traditional ways of teaching discourage the process of inquiry. It makes the student get less prone to asking questions as they move through their grade levels, they are just expected to listen and repeat the expected answers. This is due to the lack of understanding of inquiry based learning. Inquiry based learning is not just asking questions, but it is a way of converting data and information into useful knowledge. A useful application of inquiry based learning involves many different factors, which are, a different level of questions, a focus for questions, a framework for questions, and a context for questions. Much mesmerizing information and facts are readily available, which needs an understanding of how to make sense out of it and turn it into useful knowledge. The teachers must be able to analyze that he or she does into only have to accumulate information and data but also have to generate it into useful knowledge, which can be easily done through inquiry based learning. Our country's success depending upon natural resources is the past; the future of our country's success now depends upon the workforce which works smarter. There are four essential elements on which inquiry based learning depends

    I like the idea pf project-based learning. I feel that projects help to reinforce student learning. As a science teacher, this is especially true. I can only image that year around project-based learning would require a great deal of district and campus support to be successful. Nevertheless, I would like to learn more.
  • DeAnna Schlebach on 02 Mar 12
     
    I just took on the position of a 7th/8th grade math lab teacher and the person before me spent a lot of time using packets to teach the students material. I very quickly realized that this method only left the material in the students' mind for a day or two. So for the past week i've been trying to figure out exactly how to use methods of instruction like project-based learning. PLB is an amazing method that more teachers should be aware of, the only issue is that there seems to be a lot of planning up front for this to be a success. I've decided though, that if all that time of planning up front would help my students to KNOW mathematics, then it's worth it.
  • Grace Chandler on 03 Mar 12
     
    Reading the article and being a 7th grade math teacher I have realized that their are alot of teaching stratgies that could work if we had more time to actually focus on mastery and understanding. Alot of teachers are placed on calenders on what has to be taught. With the Texas curriculum being so data driven it has become hard for us to really use those fun teaching stratigies.

    This just like all the other articles on Athletic scholarships states what exactly goes on behind the scenes. Even though it is a very short and brief article it does not sugar coat and sale anything to the athletes. It shows what the realities are and what one needs to be aware of. It is better to be informed of the reality than to let your dream live on what you think something is. Knowledge is power, in this case it is also going to alleviate stress and headaches.

    This article is so true. So many high school athletes have high hopes of going to college on an athletic scholarship and don't realize that it may not be guaranteed for all four years old school. This is particularly true for women athletes. I had a few female friends in college who went on athletic scholarships but ended up off them after a year or two. Having a second or back-up plan is important for students pursing athletic scholarships incase it doesn't work out. Another thing is many student athletes have high hopes of going pro. I think someone needs to really educated college athletes at the beginning of their school careers and let them know the likelihood of them actually going pro and the importance of making the most of their education to be prepared to work later in life.

    Wow! This is another good article. I found the whole website interesting. I actually have a teenager that is about to graduate within the next year. He runs cross-country, and he is pretty good at it. He is top two in his school. We have been discussing colleges and scholarship offers that are available. After reading this article, it really had me thinking about the scholarship offers that are even available for my son. As a business teacher, I enjoy discussing college options for my students as well. This article gave me some helpful information that enlighten my knowledge of divisions and which sports usually get a full-ride. It is important to have a backup plan and not to rely on one school. Students should always have a plan B. Sports are not everything without a good GPA.
  • Grace Chandler on 03 Mar 12
     
    The article was a good read. I think working with the coaches and athletes you have to understand it is a business but in the same breath. It also depends on the sport your child is playing. Basketball. Basket, Football are the most grueling sports when it comes traveling and practice times. So, just research the school and what are the practice times if you have a focused student then they can come out with the right degree.

      This paragraph makes the Fair use policy seem ridiculous. What do you think?
  • "But I do think many have the impression that any use of material in education is fair use."
  • Fair use in the classroom is often dependent on the subject matter of the content. Ensign says a teacher may not be allowed to show the film The Lion King to the class simply because it was raining and the kids were squirrelly. It could be shown only if the class were doing a study of Disney films or were engaged in the study of a related subject.

  • Joshua ROot on 24 Feb 12
     
    I agree with the article's main point, that it IS a teacher's responsibility to know, apply, and teach the copyright and fair use rules. I ALSO agree with you, that the rules and policies make performing the job nearly impossible! I feel the pain, personally. In my classrooms, I am sometimes at a loss (and sometimes just bluff my way through it!) on how to explain to a confused student what to do in regards to using a copywritten resource or how to cite a unique source. Thankflly, I have come across a really helpful weapon in the battle against confusion--an e-graphic organizer of sorts compiled by the UT librarians, and available for open use on their website: http://lib.utexas.edu/citations

    Wow! I did my Method's at this school and I thought it was phenomenal then, I can only imagine now. This may be an article that I take back into my school because we have a group of 4th graders who are missing skills. It is hard to get the students prepared for the 5th grade level when they are missing 2nd and 3rd grade skills. Today I was talking to a teacher about what the students are being taught in the 3rd grade and she did not know. I think that if the teachers are communicating with the other grade level they are more aware of what to expect the next school year. This may also promote colloboration with other grade levels so that many skills are not missing. I am sure this will benefit all teachers and make learning more effective. It is all about team work!

    Researchers ask the question if private schools result in better scores than public schools. At first it was found that students in private perform no differently than their public school peers once Socioeconomic Statuses are removed, on test of their achievement. It was later found that students who had attended private schools outperform their public school peers on test of their developmental abilities.

    The purpose of this study was to address cyber ethics to fifth and sixth graders to get to know their knowledge and understanding on fair use and copyright. This study started with a lesson to a homeroom class. The lesson addressed the concerns of making copies of a CD and distributing it to others. The purpose of the lesson was to introduce to students how to Play it Safe in Cyberspace lessons. Parents participated in this study; and a survey was provided to them asking how they feel about students learning cyber safety copyright and fair use laws. The survey produced positive feedback from the parents. Further, in the study students were asked to write a letter to the principal or to someone other than the principal about what they had learned about software theft. In these letters, students wrote about the cyber ethics of what you should do and not do and how to take precautions when using certain websites.

That way when they start doing more complicated projects when they are older they will know how to do it right.

It explains that the distinction between fair use and copyright infringement may be difficult to define because there is no specification on the amount of text that can be used.

    I think this video is a good technology tool to incorporate in U.S. History. Personally, history is one of my least favorite subjects because it is so boring! When learning about history there are so many historical figures and dates that it is almost impossible for students to remember all the material being presented. Therefore, as educators we must attempt to make learning enjoyable. Learning should consist of a variety of resources to enhance rentention of the information. I think this is definitely a video the students will remember!

My sister is a single mom of 2 pre teens and it is definitely important for children to have other adults they can talk to and relate to to help them avoid feeling isolated and sad. Both of my sister's kids have other important adult figures in their lives and I feel this is the best preventative measure against teen pregnancy, drugs and alcohol, deliquency and high school drop-out. I like how the article also stresses how schools play an important part in being mentors for students. This applies to para professionals and other school workers such as food service and bus drivers, not just teachers. Knowing you can have a positive impact in adolescence is very rewarding in itself.

    I really enjoyed this article and definitely agree that students benefit from a private school education. I taught private Kindergarten for two years. The curriculum I taught was on a 1st and 2nd grade level and with the small student-teacher ratio (I had 10 kids max), I was able to work with students one on one and focus on each students weakness area to improve it. Also, at the end of the year, the students had benchmark tests they took and scored well above the percentile compared to other students their same age in the areas of math, reading, social awareness, etc. If financially feasible, I think students especially younger ones greatly benefit from private school. Great selection of article.

  • Jessica Byrd on 24 Feb 12
     
    I think it is an awesome idea to put cameras on school buses because just like the driver said in the video, it is impossible to properly monitor the students while trying to watch traffic as well. As a child, there was always something going on in the back of the bus and when the driver asked what happened, no one saw anything! Therefore, I think cameras on the bus is a great idea to help ensure student's safety.
  • Amanda McHaney on 29 Feb 12
     
    You can't go wrong with cameras on a school bus. The summer following my freshmen year in high school, I would ride the bus to summer school everyday. The bus picked us up from what was considered to be one of the worst neighborhoods in the community. Everyone that rode that bus got along with one another very well, however there was still bullying going on. The bullying was not student to student, it was student to bus driver. That poor man endured so much harassment from the students that after about 2 weeks he quit. Students would throw things at him while he was driving (paper, candy, you name it). I don't see how he got us to school and back alive with so many distractions. No one got in trouble for the way the bus driver was treated because there were no cameras on that bus. After he quit they sent a new bus to pick us up, it did have cameras. That was the end of that. I think this video was short and straight to the point. It is much more safe for everyone to have cameras on the bus.
