Inquiry and IBL pedagogies
What do inquiry tasks look like in science?
Tool IH-1: Exploring teachers’ ideas
Overview
Aim: To build a common understanding of IBL and the associated processes of value in learning
We will:• Examine some science activities in pairs;• Discuss the IBL features of these activities;• Revise one of the activities to further develop
the IBL features.
Exploring the meaning of IBL in science tasks
Use the examples brought to the session as a basis for discussion.
• What does IBL mean to you?• What do you think IBL looks like?
Identifying limitations
As a group, discuss the limitations of activities that:• Focus on prescribed procedures;• Leave little space for students to think
or make decisions;• Do not promote discussion, reasoning
or the development of evidence-based explanations.
Identifying key features
•explore situations;•pose questions;•plan investigations;•make decisions;
•experiment systematically;• interpret and evaluate;• reason and explain;• communicate results.
Share your examples of good IBL practice.
How do they provide opportunities for students to:
Enhancing the IBL potential
• Choose one of the activities brought to the session.
• Find ways to make this task more IBL-orientated.
Finishing off
• Use the task you have worked on with a class;
• Observe the effects on student learning;
• Reflect on changes that might further develop the IBL potential of the activity.
