Curiousity and Questions • Questions can be windows to great instruction but not the other way around • Embrace the mess – trial and error everyday • Practice Reflection – what we do is important, it deserves our care and our revision http://www.ted.com/playlists/125/tv_special_ted_talks_educatio.html

  6. The Power of Questions • In real life, the pursuit of personally important questions is what leads to new discoveries, creations, or realizations (Arnold, 1995; Gardner, 1998 in Falk & Blumenreich, 2005 p.1)

  7. Constructivism, Inquiry & Personalizing Learning

  8. Inquiry • awaken learners’ own questions and use these as the driving force for learning (Falk & Margolin, 2005). • Vs • instructing learners how to search for answers to predetermined questions.
