Question about Objectives

Submitted by Moira Messick on Wed, 07/22/2009 - 8:14am.

Before we get into metacognition, I have a question that has been bothering me....

Does everyone agree that posting concrete and clear objectives prior to an activity does not refute inquiry goals?  I ask this with the idea that students are able engage in the activity with a clear purpose to allow them to see how the inquiry activity connects to the content.  So, how specific should the objectives be before inquiry begins?

Thanks for your thoughts:)
