Mindlab Session 13 - Inquiry Learning

e-Learning tools and implementation strategies are there to support our teaching and learning not to replace it

Laingholm's Inquiry model - workable for the independent inquirers as well as the students who still require guided and modeled learning

Inquiry moving from Knowledge to Understanding
needs to be:

• relevant to them and their world
• hook them in from the get go
• could be an event that needs to happen
• provocative statement
• or a real-life challenge that effects them

• Observe
• Wonder & Ponder
• Investigate
• Conclude

 Involve me and I will understand...

Constructivist: ask questions, investigate solutions,  gather information and create new knowledge, discuss discoveries and experiences, reflect on new knowledge - not teacher directed
evaluate information


Teacher is the facilitator not the provider
open ended questions
activate prior knowledge
discuss questions and research knowledge gathering
present and reflect
