Learning environments for inquiry skills

Proceedings of the Conference on Computer Support for Collaborative Learning Foundations for a CSCL Community - CSCL '02, 2002
Computer based learning environments have been designed with the intent of facilitating higher order thinking skills for some time, but recent research in cognition, learning theory, and instructional systems have begun to clarify the nature of these skills.

Towards the convergence of CSCL and inquiry learning

Proceedings of the 8th iternational conference on Computer supported collaborative learning - CSCL'07, 2007
The use of the collaboration technology must be highly structured, with a systematic didactic approach, continuing teacher involvement and periodic face-to-face meetings to troubleshoot problems and reflect on the learning process. These suggestions [...] should only surprise people - if there still are any - who think that putting a computer box in a ...

Students' Learning of Inquiry in ‘Inquiry’ Curricula

Phi Delta Kappan, 2006
The ability to conduct inquiry seems basic to an understanding of science. But how well are elementary students being taught to develop their inquiry skills? Mr. Pine and Ms. Aschbacher assessed the ability of students to pursue inquiry, and they conclude that educators need help to move beyond superficial science teaching.

Studying inquiry learning with FILE

Computers in Human Behavior, 2005
The FILE program (flexible inquiry learning environment) is a research tool, which allows researchers in inquiry learning to design and administer learning tasks in which task domain and task model (i.e. the relations between input and output variables) can be adjusted independently, while other factors (e.g. interface) are held constant.

Inquiry learning at scale

Proceedings of the Sixth (2019) ACM Conference on Learning @ Scale, 2019
This paper addresses the related issues of which pedagogies improve with scale and how to develop a novel platform for inquiry-led learning at scale. The paper begins by introducing pedagogy-informed design of platforms for learning at scale. It then summarizes previous work to develop a platform for open science investigations.

Inquiry on Inquiry: Practitioner Research and Student Learning

Action in Teacher Education, 2009
Abstract In many teacher education programs, some form of inquiry or practitioner research is now included in the preservice teacher education curriculum. The intention is to help teacher candidates become professionals who are lifelong learners who raise questions and research their practice across the professional career.

Issues of inquiry learning in digital learning environments

British Journal of Educational Technology, 2008
This article considers the efficacy of an inquiry approach to learning in the context of science education. The educational ideology that supports the inquiry approach is based on a belief that students will be able to develop the self-directive skills necessary to continue independent learning.

FILE: a tool for the study of inquiry learning

Computers in Human Behavior, 2005
A computerized learning environment (Flexible Inquiry Learning Environment; FILE) is discussed. FILE allows researchers in inquiry learning to design, administer, and analyze learning tasks in which content domain and task complexity can be configured independently, while other factors (e.g., the interface) are held constant. This allows for more valid

A General Platform for Inquiry Learning

2002
This research explores the use of software to move higher education towards more active student learning including inquiry, problem-based and cooperative learning. Active students ask their own questions, engage in hypothesis generation, make and test predictions about theories, are involved in reasoning and address their own misunderstandings.

Inquiry and Learning in Science

2021
Recent educational reforms internationally have placed inquiry at the center of science education, shifting from teaching “final form” scientific content toward facilitating student engagement with inquiry practices. This follows changes in views of what scientific inquiry entails, which have shifted from an emphasis on science as verified through ...
