History of Model 1988 Barbara Stripling & Judy Pitts developed the REACTS Taxonomy & 10-Step research model process model.

Why use this model? “The Library of Congress follows the popular Stripling Model of Inquiry developed by Barbara Stripling” (Johnson 32)

Why use this model? Creates an environment of inquiry where students take charge of their own learning (Stripling 29).

Annotated Bibliography Berger, Pam. “Student Inquiry and Web 2.0.” School Library Monthly 26.5 (2010) : Print. Pam Berger is a library consultant, adjunct instructor at iSchool, Syracuse University, and editor of Information Searcher Newsletter. She and Barbara Stripling created the Inquiry and Web 2.0 Integration Guide that is provided in this article that connects the phases of Stripling’s Model of Inquiry to teaching and learning strategies, and viable technology tools and resources that reflect a 21 st century learning environment. Berger emphasizes using and learning content and developing information processing and problem-solving skills in a student-centered approach-with the teacher as a facilitator of learning. The importance of asking questions is also addressed and is a central element of Stripling’s Model of Inquiry that allows for reflection and critical thinking, with the ultimate goal being learning how to learn and becoming a lifelong learner.

Annotated Bibliography Johnson, Mary J. “Getting Started with Primary Source Teaching.” School Library Monthly 27.2 (2010) : Print. Mary J. Johnson is a semi-retired school librarian and an education consultant in Colorado Springs, CO. Her article reveals the Library of Congress’ approval and use of Stripling’s Model of Inquiry. The focus is on the use of primary sources and how they fit into the inquiry model of learning. Johnson refers to Stripling’s model very briefly, in favor of Kuhlthau’s research model instead. The significance of the essential question to the inquiry process is also highlighted, emphasizing scaffolding the questioning process to assist students with developing researchable questions. Tips are offered for primary source lessons and for establishing thinking routines that students use to analyze and synthesize the learned information with a critical eye. This resource was chosen to allow for at least one other perspective outside of Stripling’s Model of Inquiry.
