Jackie,
ReplyDeleteYour questions regarding inquiry based learning are powerful. Question #3 can be difficult for some students. Collaborative learning works so well for some and is so difficult for others. Your data for question #3 should prove very informative.

I like this area of inquiry (har, har), Jackie. What do you mean by student performance? Do you want them to learn, be engaged, work together, etc.? And what is the difference between subquestion 1 and 2?
ReplyDeleteJackie,
ReplyDeleteGreat question! I am so interested in how to develop students to ask their own questions! Do you want the student performance to be in terms of an assessment or just general conversation in the classroom?
