Constructing an Inquiry Orientation from a Learning Theory Perspective: Democratizing Access through Task Design

Abstract

It is widely accepted in the mathematics education community that pedagogies oriented toward inquiry are aligned with a constructivist theory of learning, and that these pedagogies effectively support students’ learning of mathematics. In order to promote such an orientation, we first separate the idea of inquiry from its conception as a collection of methods. Then, by grounding those methods in a generally accepted theory of learning, we construct an inquiry-oriented pedagogy from a constructivist perspective. We then discuss the implications of this pedagogy for the design of mathematical tasks that democratize student access to inquiry. This work has implications for educators who wish to enact an inquiry-oriented pedagogy in their classroom in order to support their students’ problem solving and problem posing.     

新课程实施背景下对科学探究的再认识与思考

在开展和深化基础教育课程改革过程中,科学探究成为实施和研究的重要环节,根据实施过程中对科学探究应用和理解出现的一些问题和现象,在与国内外科学教育专家交流和研讨的基础上,以化学学科教学为例,试图从学科知识体系特征、学习情境与过程和探究式学习方式角度去分析,即建立在宏观现象水平、微观粒子水平和符号表征水平三个层次上对化学概念的理解;重视设计学习情境和途径来促进概念的应用与转化;增进对科学探究本质过程的理解,达到更加深入地领会科学探究进入科学教育的主体过程的必然性与可操作性,以期加快教师观念的转变与实践能力的提高。     

新课标指导下的探究性教学

倡导探究性学习。认识本学科的重要性,理解新课标新要求,指导学生科学探究,重申教师思考的问题。     

探究式教学策略在高职英语教学中的应用

探究式教学就是一种面向学生发展,以学生为本,以课堂教学为轴心的学习方法,旨在使学生形成主动地获取知识、乐于探究的学习态度。高职学生英语基础较弱,而探究式教学在教学过程中会运用到创设情境、自主学习等策略,能激发学生学习的热情,提高学习英语的效率,故而在高职英语教学过程中扮演重要角色。     

新课改呼唤“探究型教学文化”

传统的“记忆型教学文化”阻碍了学生主体性的发展,具有种种弊端,新课改呼唤一种新型教学文化。应该从宏观层面、中观层面和微观层面三方面入手,创建一种重视学生自主建构、质疑批判和个性发展的“探究型教学文化”,具有重要意义。     

教师应与新课程同行--读、讲《历史与社会》课程标准有感

教育部新颁布的《历史与社会》课程标准 ,特别强调从学生的经验发展需要出发 ,对多学科进行综合 ,大力倡导在教学中面向全体学生 ,开展多样化的探究式学习 ,这就要求任课教师在教学中 ,能改变教学观念和课堂教学行为 ,由传授者变为参与者 ,鼓励学生在探究中发现问题和得出结论 ;同时也要求教师能不断丰富自己 ,与新课程同行     

课程改革对教师观念与教学行为的影响探析--基于甘肃省普通高中研究性学习实施现状的调查研究

课程改革能否取得效果,取决于教师能否对新课程的理念有深刻的认识,更重要的是教师能否把新课程的理念和目标转化为教师最终的教学行为。对甘肃省普通高中研究性学习课程实施现状的调查研究表明：一方面,随着课程改革的逐步推进,多数教师通过课程培训和自主探索实现了教育观念的转向;另一方面,教育改革的复杂性及其教师的现实处境,使多数教师的教学行为与新课程的要求有一定距离。教师自身的变革动力是推动教师教学行为改善的内在因素,而课程实践问题的解决,为教师教学行为改善提供了外部条件。课程管理者需不断提升对于课程改革的认识,帮助教师解决课程实践问题,使教师真正成为课程变革的动力,促使教师积极主动地改善教学行为,推动课程改革的深入发展。     

From aspirations to practice: curriculum challenges for a new ‘twenty-first-century’ secondary school

This paper reports on the initial stages of an empirical study of a new secondary school in New Zealand. The school vision and organisation reflect current international twenty-first-century learning discourse by confronting long-established beliefs concerning the nature of education and knowledge and the roles of teachers and students. The school's focus is on developing the dispositions and competencies of students through thematic, intersubject, inquiry-based learning. While these twenty-first-century ideas appear widely accepted worldwide, there is little research on the impact of these ideas on student learning. This study considers the challenges faced by the school in moving from aspirational vision to curriculum enactment during its first 18 months of operation. The focus of this paper is the curriculum design and development process. The issues faced by staff in this twenty-first-century school will be of interest to educationalists worldwide who are involved with the planning of new schools and curricular innovation within existing schools. Four key questions that arise from the study and that will form the focus of future research are identified.     

谈学校的文化管理与实践

从经验管理到科学管理、再到文化管理,是马克思主义理论和现代管理理论结合发展的趋势,也是学校管理发展的大趋势。“现代的学校必须有现代的管理,一流的学校必须有一流的管理。”而学校教师是办好学校的主体,是推动教育事业发展的重要力量。所以,学校教师管理是学校管理工作的重中之重。将文化管理引入学校教师管理中去,引导教师自我发展、自我管理。这是对当前中学学校教师管理理论的一种创新和发展,也是21世纪全球各国中学教育管理创新的一个大趋势。     

The role of inquiry-based self-efficacy,achievement goal orientation,and learning strategies on secondary-school students’ inquiry skills

Background: In recent years, science curricula (chemistry, physics, biology, earth science, life science, etc.) in many countries have been prepared and applied according to the inquiry-based learning approach. Although the acquisition and application of the inquiry skills are one of the important objectives of the science curriculum, the inquiry skills of each student do not enhance at the same level. The inquiry level of the learning environment; the importance and value attached to the inquiry in that environment, students who have different goals when attending to the learning environments, and students who do not get involved in the learning process at the same level can be shown as the reasons of this.

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to examine both the direct and indirect relationships between the inquiry-based self-efficacy, the achievement goal orientation, the learning strategies, and the inquiry skills variables.

Sample: This research was conducted during the 2015-2016 school year among 498 seventh and eighth graders at public schools in Turkey’s Ayd?n province.

Design and methods: The Inquiry-based Self-Efficacy Scale, the Goal Orientation Scale, the Learning Approach Scale, and the Inquiry Skills Test were applied to the students. The analysis of data was carried out through the Multilevel Structural Equation Model (MSEM).

Results: The findings related to the first model did not provide evidence for either direct or indirect effects of the inquiry-based self-efficacy on inquiry skills, achievement goal orientation, and learning strategies. However, findings from the final models provided evidence for both direct and indirect effects of separately inquiry-based self-efficacy and the achievement goal orientation on the inquiry skills through the learning strategies.

Conclusions: This study demonstrates the potential that relations with self-efficacy, achievement goal orientation, and task value theory while improving inquiry skills.     

关于研究性学习课程的理性思考

将研究性学习作为显性课程纳入课程计划,是我国基础教育课程改革的一项重要举措,其目的在于引发学习方式和教学方式的变革,向其它课程渗透先进的课程理念,凸显学生的创新精神和实践能力,进而在各科教学中更自觉地推进素质教育.研究性学习课程具有实践性、自主性、交互性、过程性和开放性等特征.其实施过程和评价模式也有别于传统的课程.     

Teachers’ performances during a practical dynamic open inquiry process

The research goal of this study was to determine whether teachers who participated in an inquiry-based course were able to internalize a dynamic open inquiry process. This study focused on 25 science teachers who participated in an annual inquiry-based academic course. Several teaching tools helped teachers employ an open inquiry process. We concluded that the teaching tools applied by teachers in documenting their inquiry processes enabled them to express dynamic inquiry characteristics. The results indicate consistency between the criteria most frequent in teachers’ inquiries and the criteria running through their reflections. In addition, teachers implemented the dynamic inquiry criteria in their classroom teaching.

Tracing Young Children's Scientific Reasoning

This paper explores the scientific reasoning of 14 children across their first two years of primary school. Children's view of experimentation, their approach to exploration, and their negotiation of competing knowledge claims, are interpreted in terms of categories of epistemological reasoning. Children's epistemological reasoning is distinguished from their ability to control variables. While individual children differ substantially, they show a relatively steady growth in their reasoning, with some contextual variation. A number of these children are reasoning at a level well in advance of curriculum expectations, and it is argued that current recommended practice in primary science needs to be rethought. The data is used to explore the relationship between reasoning and knowledge, and to argue that the generation and exploration of ideas must be the key driver of scientific activity in the primary school.
