Inquiry Learning and PBL
I've started reading about inquiry learning, PBL, constructivism, and 21st century learning and what does this mean for us at TLs.
A few points that stand out:
- student centred/student lead
- higher order thinking
- implementation of technology
- collaboration
- 24/7 anywhere,anytime learning
- adapt, adopt, modify
- cyclic inquiry model
- intuitive, deep, conceptual knowledge
- knowledge is created by dynamic interaction with the learning environment
- lifelong learners
- strategies can be interwoven
- student generated questions
- technology
- motivation
Why is this important to TLs?
- related to the information process/info literacy
- show leadership by modelling constructivism strategies
- collaborate with teachers to embed in teaching/learning strategies
- promoted by various pedagogical initiatives
- to help students develop lifelong learning skills in an info-rich environment.
I think as TLs we need to consistently think "outside the box" and consider constructivist strategies whenever we are planning units of work or activities or collaborating with teachers.
