  16. More true than false, or more false than true? You  can’t  pre  plan  an  inquiry  because  you  need  to   involve  the  students  at  the  beginning  of  the   process  and  the  unit  will  move  where  the  individual  student  interest  lies.

  17. More true than false, or more false than true? Students  need  to  be  immersed  in  the  topic  before   they  write  their  questions  for  the  inquiry.

  18. More true than false, or more false than true? Inquiry  learning  requires  students  to  research  for   all  the  information  they  need  using  a  variety  of   sources.

  20. INQUIRY:HOW KNOWLEDGE IS CREATED Sharon Friesen Galileo Educational Network

  21. Defining Inquiry Inquiry is the investigation into an idea, question, problem or issue. It involves gathering information, building knowledge and developing deep understanding. Inquiry-based learning encompasses the processes of posing problems, gathering information, thinking creatively about possibilities, making decisions and justifying conclusions.

  22. Myths About Inquiry • The teacher must never tell the students what they know. • Inquiry-based teaching absolves the teacher of any responsibility to act on students’ incorrect conceptions.

  23. Myths • In inquiry-based teaching, the teacher is only the facilitator. • In inquiry-based teaching the teacher does not need to know anything about the subject matter, as it is the students who lead the inquiry.

  24. Myths • In inquiry-based learning the students must learn everything by themselves • Inquiry-based learning means uncontrolled exploration

  25. Myths • In inquiry-based learning all student answers and responses are equally valid • In inquiry-based learning students must do all learning cooperatively in groups.

  26. Myths • Inquiry-based learning means lower standards. • Inquiry-based learning de-emphasizes the ‘basics.’

  28. Hard Fun • “If I could go through this experience again, I would. I loved the challenge. The cool thing was that sometimes no one knew the answer so we had to fight hard together to get one. Then when we got the answer it was our own, and we had discovered it. So why not go through the experience when you love what you do and feel like it is your very own?” (Student)
