Inquiry with Purpose: Guiding Students to Conceptual Understandings
Soha is the PYP Coordinator at the International School Ruhr
This session shares practical strategies to support students in articulating their conceptual understanding through guided inquiry.
Through real classroom experiences, we will unpack three practical strategies:
Crafting guiding questions that lift students’ thinking from the factual to the conceptual level.
Selecting case studies that prompt pattern finding and connection making.
Scaffolding students to articulate their own understandings.
Session Outcomes:
A practical framework for planning purposeful inquiry that leads students to clear conceptual understandings.
A ready to use planning template and strategies for concept-based, inductive inquiry.
