This is a presentation I gave at the National Science Teachers Association conference, March 2009. I saved the slides with the "presenter notes" hoping that perhaps the story is easier to understand.
This presentation provides an overview of inquiry as an instructional strategy, the 5E learning cycle, and how elementary teachers can use these to integrate science and literacy instruction.
This was presented at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Sotland, on 29th November 2007. The main focus is Inquiry Based Learning (IBL) but at the end I introduce Second Life and talk about my work with students in SL. Firstly I talked about what IBL is and then moved on to describe the work of the Centre for Inquiry Based Learning in the Arts and Social Sciences (CILASS) which is based at Sheffield University. I mentioned the level 1 module "Inquiry in Infrmation Management" (new last year), where I am part of the teaching team, and in particular I talked about the activity in Second Life with my first year "Information Literacy" class.

Inquiry instruction is good by Dadan and 施懿軒.pptxDadan Sumardani
Inquiry instruction represents a pedagogical approach that emphasizes the role of the learner in the learning process, where students are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and investigate topics to construct their own understanding and knowledge. This method stands in contrast to traditional forms of instruction that often rely on direct teaching, where information is primarily delivered by the teacher to the student. Inquiry instruction is grounded in constructivist theories of learning, which argue that learners construct new knowledge by building upon their existing knowledge and experiences through interaction with the world around them.
At the heart of inquiry instruction is the cultivation of curiosity and the development of skills necessary for students to become independent learners. This involves engaging students in authentic, complex problems that do not have straightforward answers, thereby encouraging critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills. Students are guided through a process of formulating questions, gathering and analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and reflecting on their findings. The role of the teacher in this approach shifts from being a source of knowledge to a facilitator of learning, providing support and scaffolding to students as they navigate their inquiries.
Inquiry instruction can be implemented in various forms, ranging from structured to open inquiry, depending on the level of guidance provided by the teacher and the degree of autonomy granted to the students. Structured inquiry involves more teacher guidance in leading students through the inquiry process, while open inquiry allows students more freedom to pursue their own questions and methods. Regardless of the level of structure, effective inquiry instruction requires careful planning to ensure that activities are meaningful and aligned with learning objectives.
The benefits of inquiry instruction include not only the development of critical thinking and research skills but also the promotion of a deeper understanding of content. By actively engaging with material, students are more likely to make meaningful connections and apply their learning to new situations. Furthermore, inquiry instruction supports the development of lifelong learning skills, preparing students to navigate an increasingly complex and information-rich world.
However, implementing inquiry instruction poses challenges, including the need for significant teacher preparation, the development of appropriate assessment strategies, and the provision of adequate resources and support. Despite these challenges, inquiry instruction offers a powerful framework for fostering an engaging and student-centered learning environment that encourages exploration, curiosity, and a love of learning.
Is There a Philosophical Research Method in Education?iosrjce
This work argued for the justification on the existence of philosophical research method in
education. Research as the investigative study of materials and sources to find facts as solution to a particular
problem for which it is done can only be valid when it is an activity, intellectual, tools-involved, purposeful and
has findings. Philosophers like Akinpelu, Dewey and Ross tilted towards the fact that philosophical research
method is in existence though not universal, that is why they even formulated steps as the method. By
philosophical method we simply mean way of doing things of philosophy, which research has one; and reasons
like scrutiny, peculiarity, Socratic method, Descartes’ skepticism, logic, correspondence and philosophers’
ways of research justify the existence of philosophical research method, only that it is not defined and imposed
in a rigid manner because philosophy promotes individual critical thinking and autonomy, and frowns at
conformity and indoctrination.

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2. Introduction
According to Webster’s Third International
Dictionary (1986), inquiry is an
“act or an instance of seeking for
truth, information, or knowledge; investigation;
research; or a question or query” (p. 1167), while
the root word inquire means “to
ask for information about, to make an investigation
or search, to seek information
or questioning” (p. 1167)
3. Meaning of Inquiry
However, there is a lack of agreement on
the meaning of inquiry in the field of
science education (Martin-Hauser, 2002;
Minstrell & van Zee, 2000).
4. Different points of views!!!
Minstrell (2000) listed several

process skills).
phenomena, and
stimulating questions by
students.
5. Early Historical Perspective
• The inclusion of inquiry into K–12 science
curriculum was recommended by John
Dewey (1910), a former science teacher.
Dewey considered that there was too
much emphasis on facts without enough
emphasis on science for thinking and an
attitude of the mind
6. Inquiry through history
•
The National Science Foundation (NSF) had
funded the development of an innovative
science curriculum in 1956; The subsequent
science curricula were implemented with an
emphasis on “thinking like a scientist” and an
emphasis on science processes as individual
skills (i.e., observing, classifying, inferring etc.).
7. Schwab (1960) had described two types of inquiry:
1. stable (growing body of knowledge)
2. fluid (invention of new conceptual structures
that revolutionize science).
He also encouraged science teachers to use the
laboratory to assist students in their study of
science concepts.
8. Inquiry as Content and
Concepts
Rutherford (1964) considered inquiry as both
content and concepts that are
to be understood in the context of how they were
discovered so that future inquiries
could occur. He recommended that all science
teachers have a background in the
history and philosophy of science.
9. The Start Of Action!!!
Project Synthesis was a compilation of three
major NSF sponsored projects.
There were four different goal clusters developed:
personal needs, societal
issues, academic preparation, and career
education and awareness. The greatest
emphasis (95%) was on academic preparation.
Inquiry was one of the five areas of Project
Synthesis
10. Challenges!
They recognized reasons that teachers do not use
inquiry and identified limited teacher
preparation,including management; lack of
time, limited available materials; lack of support;
emphasis only on content; and difficult to teach.
Subsequently, they identified three reasons for
avoiding inquiry (state documents emphasizing
content, easier to access content, and textbooks’
emphasis of science as a body of knowledge).
11. Science for all Americans
(SFAA)
Project 2061 established goals for the
teaching of inquiry in the SFAA chapter
entitled “Habits of the Mind,” and inquiry
was considered as a science content topic
using the following recommendations:
start with questions about nature,
engage students actively,
concentrate on the collection and use of
evidence,
•
•
•
12. • provide historical perspective,
• insist on clear expression,
• use a team approach,
• do not separate knowledge from finding
out,
• and deemphasize the memorization of
technical vocabulary
13. Now a date!!!!
Many dicsussions continue among
educational organizations in USA about
inquiry implementations and
strategies, however; here in
Lebanon, although inquiry is present as a
main objective in our lebanese
curriculum, inquiry is rarely
implemented!!!!!!!!
14. To sum up: What is Inquiry??
The Standards define inquiry as:
A multifaceted activity that involves:
1. making observation
2. researching
3. planning investigations
4. using experimental evidences
5. using tools to collect and analyze data
6. proposing answers and explanations
7. communicating the results.
15. Scientific Inquiry Versus Inquiry
Learning.
• Scientific inquiry refers to designing and
conducting scientific investigation. In
essence, it must be taught as both
process and content in a science class.
16. Inquiry Learning
The NRC (2000) provides and explains a
working definition of an inquiry approach
to teaching science. Their definitions
centers on "Five Essential features of
Classroom Inquiry" that are:
1. Learners engage in scientifically oriented
questions.
2. Learners give priority to evidence in
responding to questions.
3. Learners formulate explanations from
17. Inquiry Learning
4. Learners connect explanation to
scientific knowledge.
5. Learners communicate and justify
explanations.
18. Partial versus full inquiry
• Partial inquiries include only some of the
five features.
• Full inquiries include all the essential
features.
However;partial inquiries can form part of a
sequence experiences that together
include all five features of inquiry.
19. Open Versus Guided Inquiry
Inquiries vary in the balance between
student self- direction and teacher
guidance
20. Tips to implement inquiry in our
lesson plans!
1. Initiating inquiry: Discrepant event
