RSA1: Inquiry Based Learning
Effects of
Inquiry-Based Learning Approach on Student Resistance in a Science and
Technology course: http://web.a.ebscohost.com.cucproxy.cuchicago.edu/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?sid=f93a490b-a456-485f-8519-d6c488816d7d%40sessionmgr4003&vid=0&hid=4212
Summary: This article is a case study that experiments with 7th
grade students in a science classroom setting. The goal was to see student’s
behavior and test scores between traditional teaching methods versus inquiry
base learning. According to the article, there was a larger increase from a
pretest to a posttest in the experimental groups which was using the inquiry base
learning method. After interviewing teachers after the experiment was finished,
it was agreed upon that in both groups there were behavior resistant actions
but found that inquiry base learning had less than the traditional method.
An Augmented
Reality-based Mobile Learning System to Improve Students Learning Achievements
and Motivations in Natural Science Inquiry Activities:
Summary: This article is a case study on fourth grade
students studying aquatic animals. The student is testing a new type of inquiry
learning called AR system enhanced versus regular inquiry learning. AR system
enhanced is a program that guides the students through the steps of inquiry
learning rather than having the students do it on his or her own. 57 participants put into two groups one using
AR inquiry learning, the other inquiry base learning. The same teacher would be
used for both groups to keep consistent. Both groups were privileged to the
same types of technology. A pretest was given to monitor progress of the students.
The results showed that the new AR system enhanced had a higher mean score,
80.14 versus 73.93 in the regular inquiry base learning. According to
observations made, the AR method had many more students on topic and had less behavior
concerns.
Assessing Inquiry
Summary: The video Assessing
Inquiry is a video that dates almost 15 years old. The video shows the base
foundation of inquiry base learning. The focus of the video is talking about
how each and every student learns differently so students should also be a loud
to be assessed differently. Instead of tests students should be able to design
his or her test. Each student is challenged to complete the task.
It is interesting to watch this video than to read An Augmented Reality-based Mobile Learning
System to Improve Students Learning Achievements and Motivations in Natural Science
Inquiry Activities because it shows how far inquiry base learning has come
in 15 years. 15 years ago the base and foundation for inquiry base learning gave
students new opportunities. Now fifteen years later, there are programs that
help guide students through inquiry base learning.
Community Collaboration
for Inquiry Success
Summary: This article explains how a school got started with
an inquiry base learning style. The school has a focus on how collaboration can
play a positive role in inquiry base learning. The school is trying to get
students to go away from the traditional way of research that may be guided by
a librarian. The hope is that students can motivate each other to do research and
explore new topics.
After reading through these articles and the assigned article 20 Questions to Guide Inquiry Base Learning,
and reading Inquiry Based Learning
from thirteen.org, there are a lot of consistencies throughout the articles. It
seems that one the most important factors for inquiry base learning to
accomplish its goal is for students to be motivate. The point is to let
students explore topics that interest them and to go out there and explore the
information on their own. But a student that does not show any motivation will
get nothing out of inquiry base learning. That is way I find An Augmented Reality-based Mobile Learning
System to Improve Students Learning Achievements and Motivations in Natural Science
Inquiry Activities to be intriguing because it is taking inquiry base
learning to the next level. Programs that guide students through the steps can
help the students stay on track. That way it takes the pressure off of the students
and can keep them on track.
