Metacognition Fallout

Submitted by Deborah Hazen on Wed, 07/22/2009 - 1:16pm.

Great opportunity to be metacognitive about the things we need and the characteristics we look for in teachers as we learn.

How does this fit with our emerging understanding of inquiry learning? The activity this morning led me to think about the difference between an INQUIRY and inquiry activities.

A benefit of inquiry, in my mind, is that it creates an opportunity for teachers and students to treat their understandings skeptically and deepen understanding in an area. Inquiry activities or activities that demonstrate inquiry attributes seem less useful as avenues to confront currently help perspectives and deepen understanding.

What do others think about the differences and usefulness of these two ways of looking at inquiry?
