The document discusses inquiry-based learning, which emphasizes students' questions and observations. Instructors encourage students to share ideas and challenge each other respectfully. When done correctly, inquiry-based learning can develop higher-order thinking, information literacy, critical thinking, and lifelong problem-solving skills. The process involves students planning investigations, retrieving and processing information, creating projects, sharing their work, and evaluating their findings and methods. Setting up an inquiry-based classroom requires equipping it with various learning materials to stimulate students' inquiries.

Helping students learn subject matter involves more than the delivery of facts and information. The goal of teaching is to assist students in developing intellectual resources to enable them to participate in, not merely to know about, the major domains of human thought and inquiry.
These include the past and its relation to the present; the natural world; the ideas, beliefs, and values of our own and other peoples; the dimensions of space and quantity; aesthetics and representation; and so on.

The term “Schema” was first used in psychology and was defined as “an active organization of past reactions or experiences”. A Schemata is a generalized description or a conceptual system for understanding knowledge-how knowledge is represented and how it is used.
Culture gives information that can serve to explain why people behave in a certain way. Culture will help us to understand the reasons behind people’s behaviours. The culture into which a child is born acts in more fundamental ways as the means of knowing. As knowing is a meaning making process the meanings to the concepts are provided by the language of the society and the cultural context. Language is a good indicator of how a culture is.

Relative Roles of Knower and the Known in knowledge transmission and construc...Kshetrimayum Sajina Devi
Knowledge creation involves systematisation of various facts through dynamic interaction between individuals and the environment. The capability to increase and utilize the knowledge is considered most advantageous to an individual. The process of knowing is a personalised individual task that is influenced by experience and unintentional contextual cues.
It helps in developing the power of expression of the students.
It is help to ascertain the personal difficulties of the students.
It provide a check on preparation of assignments.
It can be used by teacher to maintain discipline in class.
It is used to promote thinking skill of the student.
It is used to draw attention in the class.
The process of knowing is explicate and explains to a large extent the meaning and also the nature of knowledge. Knowing happens through perception, reason, emotion, and codification.
Knowledge is an organized set of statement of fact or ideas, presenting a reasoned judgment or an experimental result, which is transmitted to others through some communication medium is some systematic form. Knowledge consists of new judgments (Research and Scholarship) or presentation of older judgments as exemplified in text books, teaching and learning and collected as library and archival material
Knowledge construction is a dialectical process, which involves systematisation of various facts through dynamic interactions between individuals and the environment. Knowledge creation is a spiral that goes through seemingly opposing concepts such as order and chaos, micro-macro, part-whole, mind and body, tacit and explicit, deduction and induction, and creativity-efficiency. There is need to understand that knowledge creation is a transcending process through which entities (individuals, groups, and institutions) go beyond the boundary of the old into a self-acquiring new knowledge. Learners work with their knowledge such that they link their new knowledge to their existing knowledgebase.
Inductive and deductive method of teaching
It is generally starts from the specific to general. This method is generally known as Statistical Method, Scientific Methods and Empirical Method It quite popular method for framing generalisation. In this method we proceed from Known/ Concrete to Unknown/ Abstract
Different Facets of Knowledge and Relationship between Local
Information or knowledge limited to a state or community or to a fixed area is called
local knowledge.
Knowledge accepted by all the people of the world and is common to all is referred to as universal knowledge.
Differences Between Information, Knowledge, Belief and Truth
The term information is generally described as the structured, organized and processed data, presented with the context, which makes it relevant and useful to the person who wants it. When raw data turn out to be meaningful after conversion it is known as information. It is something that informs in essence
Concrete knowledge is as the name suggests. It involves only those things, which are visible to the human eye and are obvious to anybody looking at them. Concrete knowledge is empirical knowledge gained by one’s own experience and observation. Sensory organs are the gateway of knowledge, with the help of which a child perceives by seeing, smelling, hearing, and touching. Such knowledge is called concrete knowledge.
Abstract knowledge can be explained as the manner of thinking, and its concentration is on conceptualisation or generalisation. Abstract knowledge involves the much deeper, wider, and multitude of meanings of a single concept or idea, which can arouse other issues that were never seen or discussed before.
Bruner’s theory attaches importance to the prior knowledge of the students. Due to this, the ideas of scientific principles are also given importance in education. It develops the Logical Thinking of the students.
On the basis of this, the memory and imagination power of the students are developed. It provides opportunities for the students to come to a conclusion by doing activities on their own. Due to this, creativity skills are developed in the students.
These ideas of Bruner are given an important place in the education world.
This psychological theory of learning is a good way to make the present modern teaching-learning process effective.
Discussion as a tool for learning - Discussion is often use in classroom. It promotes creativity as well as generate meaningful interaction and understanding for the learner.
Questioning skills helps in having successful relationship between the teachers and students and it will help to gain more information in the teaching learning process.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Definition
Inquiry-based learning is a learning and teaching approach that emphasizes students’
questions, ideas and observations. Instructors actively encourage students to share their
thoughts and to respectfully challenge, test and redefine ideas. With inquiry-based learning,
instructors and students share responsibility for learning.
Inquiry-based learning refers to a transformation of the traditional classroom. Students are
encouraged to take part in group work to learn from their peers and participate in forms of
guided learning, which is delivered by an instructor. This form of learning enhances
comprehension—rather than memorizing facts and taking notes, students are now encouraged
to discuss ideas among their peers. This form of learning also allows students to take
ownership of their learning and increases their engagement with the content.
The fundamental concept in inquiry - based learning regards to a process of personal
discovery by the learners. The learners or the student inquirers are guided to inquire or
generate relevant questions and to come up with the appropriate answers through critical
thinking. In inquiry learning learners are also shown how knowledge is generated, how it is
transmitted, and how all parties including experts, teachers, parents and society contribute
to a learners‟knowledge. Inquiry learning teaches the learners to respect one‟s own interest
and the interest ofothers ( Donham , 2001).
3. Why must inquiry?
When inquiry based learning approaches when correctly implemented can
help develop higher order , information literacy, and critical thinking skills.
And also develop problem solving skill for lifelong process.
4. Foundations of inquiry based learning
In order to provide a sound and meaningful learning experience in an inquiry-
based classroom teachers must first equip themselves with a sound knowledge
of the method. Therefore, the teachers need to grasp the roots and the
essence of the methodology such as from the respectivedisciplines and
learning theories it has sprouted.
5. The process of inquiry
begins with gathering information and data through applying the human
senses---seeing,hearing,touching,tasting and smelling.
It is complex and involves individuals attempting to convert information and
data into useful knowledge.
6. A model of inquiry based learning

Sharing
7. Reflecting on the Process
Reflecting phase involves the steps on planning, retrieving, processing, creating,
sharing and evaluating which relate to affective and cognitive domains of met
Planning Phase
At this initial phase students will experience a sense of interest in or curiosity
about the topic. Students or the inquirers see the whole project as a puzzle that
needs to be solved. Students willstart by:
Figuring out the general questions that need to be investigated.
Finding the information and materials regarding the particular topic.
Determining the way to present the information to the target audience.
Suggesting the criteria pertinent to their research product and process
evaluation.(Jonassen , 2000)a cognition (Alberta Learning, 2004).
8. Retrieving Phase
With the wealth of the information inquirers now have, they then need to
come to a focus for their topic. At the pre-focus phase, learners may be
unsure of the amount of resources they need to have. They may not know
how to determine which info is irrelevant or which is related to their inquiry
and may get frustrated. Here is where the role of teacher-facilitator comes
in. The facilitator must guide them and provide them the correct skills and
strategies to determine relevant information.
9. Processing Phase
Now that the inquirers have decided on their „focus‟ they will be able to decide
on their specific objective and is able to come up with their thesis statement.
However, at this stage the information may be too „superficial‟ or too „in-depth‟
and may also be confusing and contradictory. Therefore, facilitators must guide
learners how to compare, contrast and synthesize data in order to obtain the right
resources (Asselin, et al, 2003).
Creating Phase
At this phase the inquirers have a certain amount of readiness and are able to
organize the information as well as create a presentation format. Nevertheless,
they are quite uncertain of their product and need instructors‟ guidelines in
producing the acceptable one. Instructors may also encourage cooperative and
collaborative activities among the learners whereby they can be teamed up in
their creative efforts and come up with the relevantn resources, discussions and
on-line projects (Mc Gregor , 2003).
10. Sharing Phase
This is the stage where inquirers will learn to communicate and share their new
understanding in a variety of ways with their target audience such as through project
presentations. Student inquirers will also learn to develop positive feedback and questioning
techniques. At this instant, collaborative effort will be demonstrated at the time where the
inquirers support the other members in their sharing by participating as audience members.
It is better to have inexperienced or novice researchers to be involved in small group sharing
rather than having each individual student share their work with the whole class as it is often
more successful and time –efficient (Asselin, et al , 2003).
Evaluating Phase
In order to reach successful outcomes in inquiry, the instructor must provide the inquirers
with opportunities to reflect on the original brainstorming session and examine the
development of their focus. It is essential that the inquirers make use of learning tools such
as rubrics and checklists to evaluate their products and processes. Inquirers are also
encouraged to work collaboratively at this stage to edit each other‟s product. It is important
to note that evaluation must not only emphasize on the final product or be too summative as
this may result to inquirers become more skillful in plagiarism (Mc Gregor, 2003).
11. Inquiry – Based Learning Classrooms
In order to have a productive inquiry – based classroom the learning environment in the class should
be enriched with learning materials that will enhance and stimulate. It should also provide answers
to the learners‟ inquiries. Therefore, it is best to equip the class with a lot of reading materials such
as books, magazines, brochures, pamphlets, newspapers related to the topic under study. It is also
beneficial for the students to have access to CD – ROMs as they can be very informative as well as
interesting as they are interactive and include simulations. The use of the Internet should also be
encouraged as it links to a wealth of information. Virtual online learning such as through web-based
activities that focus on inquiry method should be encouraged.
Focussed on using and learning content as a means to develop information processing skill and
problem solving skill.
Student centered teacher as a facilitator of learning
More emphasis on how we come to know and less on what we know.
Student involve more in construction of knowledge through active involvement.
The Internet Innovation, inc at Biopoint. com‟s online gallery for instance for instance have many
teacher-created WebQuests, MiniQuests and Project Pages. Classroom teachers have the opportunity
to access over 250 different activities within a gallery of instructional activities which are organized
by grade level, subject and activity type.
12. Traditional class
Focussed on mastery of content
Lectures,assigned reading, problem sets and lab work
Teacher centered with teacher focused on giving out information about what
is known.
Students learn not to ask too many questions, instead to listen and repeat the
expected answers.
