5. Inquiry meets Guided InquiryGI & the affective domain Research says Students associate “research” with “abandonment”….. e.g. Carol Kuhlthau, Rosemary Hipkins (NZCER) “Independent learning” often has similar connotation for students..

7. Inquiry meets Guided inquiryQuality “Inquiries” summaryKey inquiry themes/ importance of: • Questioning approach • Emotional engagement • Student choice • Authentic, real life purpose – “mattering” • Student challenge • Reflection Hmmm?So oo? • It’s not over till it’s over • Focus on use of experts for information… Flickr image by Istlibrary http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2376/2304444220_945eb44d7c_m.jpg

8. Inquiry meets Guided inquiryQuality “Guided Inquiries” summaryDifferences from Inquiry? • Initiated through compelling situations/ meaningful questions • Involves authentic activities which help students engage in problem solving and critical thinking • Student choice over specific questions and presentation formats • Students systemmatically engage with diverse information sources to build background knowledge, formulate their focus and collect pertinent information to construct new knowledge. • Sustained dialogue between students, teachers, librarians as students develop their ideas/ concepts. • Learning activities closely resemble the ways people are expected to to develop and use knowledge in the “real”, “working” world. • Students feel valued, supported and acknowledged in their learning. • Students have the opportunity to practice new skills to sustain learning.

Inquiry meets Guided inquiryGuided inquiry = Inquiry ++ Guided inquiry = • The standard elements of “Inquiry” e.g. questionning approach/ authentic student activities ++++ • Collaborative overview planning including library/ information staff • Planned use of resources used as “interventions” • On going student emotional support as they research • Collaborative assessment Flickr image by Tommy Sims http://farm1.static.flickr.com/216/519658251_f35904fc8c_m.jpg

10. Inquiry meets Guided InquiryGuided Inquiry & resources • Rich resources = where students have the opportunity to intereact with a wide variety of information sources representing a range of information/ opinions • Primary and secondary sources: GI encourages going to the primary (original) source as well as the interpretation (secondary source) • “Experts” focus maintained/ extended • Multi modal resources = a balance of resource “modes” including paper, electronic & live in a variety of systems / genres… • Resources planned to encourage student “critical thinking”: judgement/ choices = 21century literacy

25. Inquiry meets Guided inquiry“Starter Guiding questions???” • What do you already know about…? • What part of this topic are you really curious about …? • Why do want to explore this this topic..? • What do you think you might discover about…? • What is the purpose of your research? • Who will your audience be? What do you want them to understand about your research? • How are you going to share your learning?

26. Inquiry meets Guided InquiryOn going questioning… • What can you tell me about your discoveries? • What did you find that surprised you? • What is really important about your findings? Why? To whom? • How has your thinking changed since the start of your research? • Have you drawn any conclusions? • What would you like to see happen now?

27. Inquiry meets Guided inquiry“Whaling” more questions… • Students choice of their own questions … • Richer questions likely now because of new knowledge about whaling now and in our grandparents times. • Ongoing support Flickr image by guano http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2320/2196734758_581798a332_m.jpg

29. Inquiry meets Guided inquiryMonitoring and assessment e.g. Library instructional team members could monitor the information literacy aspects of a Guided inquiry, e.g. Standard: The student who is information literate evaluates information critically and competently. Indicators: 1:Determines accuracy, relevance and comprehensiveness of information 2: Distinguishes between fact, point of view and opinion 3: Identifies inaccurate and misleading information 4: Selects information appropriate to the problem or question at hand
