What is Inquiry- based learning?
According to edutopia, "Inquiry-based learning is more than asking a student what he or she wants to know. It's about triggering curiosity."
Below are the 4 steps of Inquiry-Based Learning.
THINK
1) Develop questions they are hungy to answer and need further inquiry.
CREATE
2) Research the topic.
SHARE
3) Have the students present what they have learned from the inquiry project.
GROW
4) Have the students reflect on the process. What do they think went well and what didn't.
Have the students reflect not only on what they learned, but HOW they learned.
Inquiry Models of Learning:
The two inquiry models below, Striplings Model of Inquiry and Big 6 are used to help students facilitate inquiry learning. The models were chosen becasue they align with the National School Library Standards.
"Each model described includes steps, stages, or phases of inquirly learning that help school librarians and other educators design instruction that supports the learner's journey through the Shared Foundation of Inquire and the Domains of Think, Create, Share, and Grow"
Lori E Donovan, AASL Shared Foundations Inquire.
"The Stripling model focuses on the inquiry that learners do when their personal understandings connect to their work. As learners go through the six stages- Connect, Wonder, Construct, Express, and Reflect- each learning experience should lead to new knowledge, allowing learners to make connections with prior knowledge and create new understanding" (Donovan, AASL Shared Foundations Inquire).
The Big 6 was developed by Mike Eisenburg and Bob Berkowitz. The Beg 6 Model "integrates information search and use skills along with technology tools in a systematic process to find, use, apply, and evaluate information for specific needs and tasks" (Big6, n.d.).
