    The document discusses four types of inquiry for learning: 1. Confirmation inquiry involves students following teacher-provided questions and procedures to confirm known results. 2. Structured inquiry provides the question from the teacher but has unknown results, requiring students to formulate explanations from teacher-guided procedures. 3. Guided inquiry gives the question from the teacher but has students design their own procedures to investigate the unknown answer. 4. Open inquiry allows students to formulate their own questions and devise their own procedures to investigate and communicate unknown results.

    Week 4: Types of
    Inquiry
    DEVIKA MISRA
    Recap

     Inquiry based learning is not only student-centric, based on a central relationship between
    interest and inquiry, but is also student-led.
     Given the vastness of possibility that human inquiry can encompass, it is important to
    underline the importance of ‘answerable questions’ – not only to enable the most efficient
    classroom environment, but to beat that fear of failure as well as the overwhelming array
    of possibilities that often stymie the beginning of the learning process
     Having already discussed the various elements of inquiry, this session aims to discuss the
    various forms that inquiry may take.
     Inquiry Based Learning places the responsibility for learning on the students, and
    encourages them to arrive at an understanding of concepts by themselves, following a
    process that can include:
     Determining what they need to learn
     Identifying resources and how best to learn from them
     Using resources and reporting their learning
     Assessing their progress in learning
     IBL allows for the stimulation of both curiosity and interest and allows for the
    development of deeper and more profound understanding in the student.
    Types of Inquiry

     As evident from the previous slide by Trevor MacKenzie (Source:


    https://www.learningpersonalized.com/personalized-learning-using-types-student-inquiry/?utm_content=buffer98908&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.
    com&utm_campaign=buffer

    ) there are 4 types of inquiry :


     CONFIRMATION INQUIRY/CONTROLLED INQUIRY/LIMITED INQUIRY
     STRUCTURED INQUIRY
     GUIDED INQUIRY
     OPEN INQUIRY
    CONFIRMATION INQUIRY
    (Limited/Controlled Inquiry)

     The faculty gives learners a question and procedure that leads to a known result. Learners
    follow the directions.
     Reinforces concepts and confirms previous understandings.
     The student follows the procedure as detailed by the teacher, and then proceeds to collect
    and record data.
     Therefore:
    Question : Given by the teacher
    Results : Known to the teacher
    Procedure to be Followed/Method: Given by the teacher
    STRUCTURED INQUIRY

     STRUCTURED INQUIRY : The faculty gives learners a question and outlines procedures
    that lead to an unknown result. Learners investigate and answer the question. Given that the end
    result is not known, the student has to formulate explanations and to prove/disprove them,
    analyse the collected data.
     Inquiry guided by the teacher
     Students follow teacher’s directions to come up with a specific end point or product
     The teacher asks the class to discuss the results when the inquiry is complete
     Therefore :
    Question : Given by the teacher
    Results : Unknown
    Procedure to be Followed/Method: Given by the teacher
    GUIDED INQUIRY

     The teacher gives learners a question with an unknown answer. The learners design procedures, investigate, and answer the
    question. So while the question is still provided by your teacher, the procedures to arrive at any sort of answer is up to the
    student. The students, therefore, are in control of their own research methodology, allowing for immense freedom to pursue
    research techniques best suited to their talents and preferences.
     Teacher selects the over arching question
     Whole Class or groups of students work to assist in developing the procedure and learn specific skills needed for future open-
    inquiries.
     Using the data gathered or provided, students generate explanations
     Findings and claims are communicated
     Therefore :
    Question : Given by the teacher
    Results : Unknown
    Procedure to be Followed/Method: Devised by Students/Learners
    OPEN INQUIRY

     Learners design their own question(s) and procedures. They must investigate and answer the question.
    In this mode, students further formulate their own questions as well as communicate their own results.
     Build upon prior experiences and inquire about the overarching concepts
     Display the tools, materials
     Inquiry begins with the student’s question
     Continues with student(s) designing and conducting the investigation or experiment
     Complete the learning cycle by communicating the results
     Therefore :
    Question : Formulated by the Student
    Results : Unknown
    Procedure to be Followed/Method: Devised by Students/Learners
