Investigations: The exact nature of an investigation would differ depending on the question and the discipline.
Dialogue and Discussion: "An education that creates silence is not an education." Talk and inquiry are deeply symbiotic. The process of inquiry nurtures good talk, and that good talk furthers the inquiry.
Joy: They believe that if students are enjoying school, then our teaching is not "rigorous" enough.

ReplyDelete*Teachers ask questions and the students don't know how to answer.
*Students only can talk when they interesting a topic.
*In the 19th-century still dominates our schools and curricula.

-Teaching through inquiry does not mean a teaches never lectures and never does a whole class instruction.
-Hands on teaching is not synonymous with inquiry based teaching.
-Driven primarily on short term memorization regarding facts.
-The teacher's responsibility to make the inquiry experience purposeful and highly thoughtful.
-The inquiry process does not silence or disregards students interests.

Student-Initiated Inquiry:
Students can not learn what they are interested in because the teachers " tell them what to learn, when to learn, and how to learn"(Steven Wolk, 2008, pg.122).
"Exploratory- students work on topics and questions they're interested in. While teachers help investigate in the topics" (wolk, 2008 pg 121)
What about content? Standards? Test Scores?
You cannot always learn by doing "hands-on", you must also do some research on the topic to gain information on what interest you.
Teaching shouldn't be just taught by books and lectures due to academic standers, but overcome by inquiry learning to defeat their academic standers.

ReplyDelete*todays students have no intellectual curiosity, no passion, no wonder about life and the human condition.
*inquiry-based teaching transforms the aims of school from short-term memorization of facts into disciplined questioning and investigating.
*how they pointed out that maybe a student have great scores in standardized testing, but have no interest in life or nature. they are not curios enough.
*thoreau and einstein were passioned about their inquiry not just "pulled" by a test.
