The Inquiry Approach to Learning A Definition, Classroom Description, & Example

A Definition Inquiry is a recursive, ever-revolving process driven by the learner’s ideas, questions and purposes, for learning begins with personal connection. Inquiry is experiential learning. Inquiry involves immersing children in a topic with time to explore, wonder, investigate, and research.

Classroom Description Children who are learning to be researchers need to work for extended periods of time in a room where the hum of learning is appreciated. Learning through inquiry demands both listening and participation. Interacting with one another and the teacher is an important part of discovery.

An Example What do I want to know about Appalachia? Who first settled this region? How are the people in stereotyped? Has this area been featured in books?

What are my research topics for Appalachia? History of settlers Stereotypes Books about Appalachia

How can I find out about Appalachia? Internet Books Interviews Articles

I Can Research by... Using the following web site: Reading books with Appalachian settings, such as: Belle Prater’s Boy (R. White, 1997) and Appalachia: Voices of Sleeping Birds (C. Rylant, 1991) Interviewing native Appalachians about their heritage Examining articles pertaining to Appalachia. For example: “Linguist Finds Dialect A-Flourishin’ in Appalachia” (K. Hazen, The NY Times, 2/7/2000)

This is what I discovered about Appalachia... QuestionAnswer #1Answer #2Answer #3 Who first settled this region? Scots-Irish immigrants Hunters & trappers Native Americans How are the people stereotyped? Hillbilly & redneck Uneducated & dumb Intermarried & poor with a lot of children Has this area been featured in books? Belle Prater’s Boy (R. White, 1997) Mama Is a Miner (G. Lyon, 1994) Missing May (C. Rylant, 1993)
