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
  • Dictionary meaning of Inquiry is seeking knowledge
  • Inquiry based learning can be applied on all disciplines which has been confirmed through different researches

    Vocational Education meets Research in the dynamic classroom of Linda Darling-Hammond, 2008. The students are doing the research, teaching and learning. They control their own destiny and they are taking the world by storm! They are not waiting to be taught, they are teaching each other and themselves as teams of researchers. Darling-Hammond, L.

    I read this book and what the author says is really revolutionary. She has students work in teams as researchers and collaborate while doing research separately. She says students are scientists and classroom homework is research. They should be teaching the teachers, she thinks. Especially, they are beyond us in technology knowledge!

    This article focuses on how students fare when taking history courses from coaches or persons who might not have a strong history background. After one college student does poorly in a coach taught college history course, the author points out ways coaches can improve teaching history and become more effective teachers. The implementation of the Coaching History playbook was established to help Texas coaches who teach history improve their instruction.

    Sounds neat. Learning how to coach coaches to teach is a good idea. After they can apply their craft to teaching, they can improve.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    It is important with the blog to follow fair use and the following article shows how to do that: http://www.ehow.com/list_7397165_fair-use-copyright-laws-teachers.html It would seem that fair use is including information with apa citations, not too much information and credit. But the jury is still out on this.

    This Journal has a special emphasizes on teaching Nonfiction Writing to students in the 3rd Grade. I think it is good to see how Mentor Texts are being used across the country. With the new Staar Test in Texas and 4th grade have to write Expository Essays this would be a good way to get a jump start on teaching Writing.

  • Sharon Hicks on 01 Mar 12
     
    I was interested in reading this article because we are having discussions about our approach to teaching. It seems to be coming up often that teaching is no longer " the sage on the stage". We are in the process to becoming more "guides" to student learning. Questioning is an important part. We need good questioning in order to have our students access the higher order thinking skills.

    This article discusses the role that computers play in the school and in children's social, emotional, and physical development. Technology is on the rise and as the year's progress, computers are being provided for students in the classroom. The question is does using technology in school raise students achievement. For the younger students computers were most effective on student learning when the teacher would use them for high thinking skills. Computers used in 12th grade history reported the more that students used computers outside the classroom their performances were higher on test scores. This study suggests that schools that provide technology applications should provide training for students to use these applications. In conjunction, schools should provide basic computer skills for students so that they can improve in their content areas.

    I like the idea of providing technology training to students. It amazes me how many of my students don't have basic computer skills. I usually spend a lot of time just teaching them how to use a program.

    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.

    Great article. 5th and 6th grade seems so young to even be able to grasp all of this! It is great to start them out young while they are just really starting to use the web for school. That way when they start doing more complicated projects when they are older they will know how to do it right.
