SUMMER LAGU MATH INSTITUTESTEM Topic 4: Inquiry-Based Instruction for Geometry Dym San Nicolas Luz Erni Gemma de Guzman
What is Inquiry Based Instruction • Inquiry-based instruction engages students in the processes of formulating predictions, organizing and interpreting data, and communicating results. • The approach has great potential to excite and motivate students, but requires preparation and forethought to implement successfully. • It appeals to students’ natural curiosity about the world around them, while developing process skills.
What is Inquiry Based Instruction The three kinds of inquiry based instruction are: • Structured Inquiry • Guided Inquiry • Open Inquiry
1. STRUCTURED INQUIRY • Students follow precise teacher instructions to complete a hands-on activity. • The teacher provides students with a question and the process the students use to find the answer. • Teachers lead students step by step through the process. • Teachers may be able to anticipate the types of questions that students may pose and easily prepare points of discussion. • Structured inquiry strategies may not engage students as fully or develop as high level critical thinking skills as the other two forms of inquiry-based teaching strategies.
2. GUIDED INQUIRY • Students develop the procedure to investigate a teacher-selected question. • The teacher poses a question and provides the students only with materials to be used in their investigation. • The students must design the experiment themselves. Many standards-based topics work well with guided inquiry. • Teachers are responsible for preparing inquiry-based assessments to monitor students.
3. OPEN INQUIRY • Students generate questions about a teacher-selected topic and design their own investigations. • Teachers furnish the materials for students to investigate, but students must come up with the question and method for investigation. • To ensure the success of this strategy, teachers can • Provide carefully planned inquiry-based assessments • Create well-established classroom rules for interaction and the handling of materials • Offer guidance to students who exhibit frustration • Prepare guided questions following the activity that tie into standards
