Guided inquiry under the microscope

ALIA National 2014 Conference, 15-19 September 2014 Melbourne : together we are strongerT
This conference presentation explains how an action research project will be carried out on the Year 11 historical investigation at Loreto Kirribilli, using guided inquiry as the vehicle for student inquiry as well as the collection of data. This presentaiton will be an initial analysis of the success or otherwise of guided inquiry as a means of ensuring deep learning in students.
Guided Inquiry is particularly timely with the emphasis on inquiry in the national curriculum, involves collaboration between teacher librarians, teachers and students, and allows us to show by evidence-based practice what kinds of differences we are able to make to student learning.
