2013 Inquiry-based Learning; How it Works in the Science Classroom
The Australian Curriculum: Science emphasises inquiry-based teaching and learning. Scientific inquiry promotes critical and creative thinking by encouraging flexibility and open-mindedness as students speculate about their observations of the world. In an inquiry classroom, students are able to challenge themselves to identify questions and draw evidence-based conclusions using scientific methods.
In this workshop teachers will investigate the process and practicalities of inquiry learning in the Science classroom. They will engage in hands-on activities that will inform their understanding of the types of inquiry and how to implement them in their teaching program.
The Workshop will cover the following:
- What is Science? How do scientists work?
- What is Inquiry Based Teaching?
- Forms of Inquiry
- Practical Representation/The 5Es Model
- Strategies for Inquiry Based Teaching
- Adapting materials
- Leading change
Who should attend: Secondary/Middle school teachers
