Teaching and learning in the IB grows from an understanding of education that celebrates the many ways people work together to construct meaning and make sense of the world. MYP: From principles into practice (May 2014)
2
The essence of learning in the MYP
3
During this session we will: ●Define what inquiry, action, and reflection mean in the context of the MYP ●See and listen to examples of what inquiry, action, and reflection “look like” in your child’s classes ●Make connections between inquiry, action, and reflection and the concepts and content your child is learning ●Identify strategies and possibilities for applying or extending the inquiry-action-reflection approach beyond the classroom (and perhaps into the home)
4
Think about this...When you are starting a new project at work or home, what are the “steps” that you go through in order to be able to meet the expectations or goals? ● Ask questions → find out more! ● Get started → make a plan and do it! ● Think about what you’ve done or have to do → re-do or find out more?
5
Ask questionsPlan and do it Think about it
6
[Teaching and learning in the MYP is] represented as the interplay between asking (inquiry), doing (action) and thinking (reflection)...this constructivist approach leads towards open classrooms where different views and perspectives are valued. MYP: From principles into practice (May 2014)
