  1. A Guide to Guided Inquiry Your Guides Brad Atkin Blake Paul DeAnnaZilth Aaron Spencer

  2. What is Guided Inquiry? • An educational philosophy promoting the idea that learning should be accomplished by the teacher helping students discover knowledge themselves, rather than simply being told the answers. What would you do in that situation? What might have gone wrong? What do you know about this topic already?

  3. Characteristics • Requires students to work together to solve problems rather than receiving direct instructions on what to do from the teacher • Teachers are be viewed as facilitators of learning rather than vessels of knowledge

  4. How does an Inquiry-based Classroom Work? • Inquiry-based, problem-based, and project-based all rely on similar principles- just the format of the investigation and response vary.

  5. Inquiry-based: Learning uses dialectical Q&A to create understanding. Students demonstrate mastery by answering questions and creating their own areas of investigation Problem-based: Presents students with a problem whose solution can only be arrived at through a similar process of investigation. Mastery is demonstrated by formulating a correct solution. Project-based: Students learn though investigative trial and error and demonstrate mastery through completing a project.
