It's a good idea that would get students engaged in the material more than a traditional education space. It allows students more freedom and for them to harbor their curiosities about a certain subject while learning the curriculum.  It can be difficult to provide quality inquiry based learning in a large group just because it does take more a personalized approach to teaching.

Something that we enjoy about the use of inquiry based learning is that it can spark curiosity and create an urge to explore more into a topic students already know. Something less positive about this strategy is the requirement for possible public speaking or open ended responses than many students may not feel comfortable with.

We like that the students get to have a say in what they are learning about. Having time in class to get the work done is huge. Students don't have all the needed resources.

We dislike that if the kids aren't driven, there will be nothing accomplished.

It makes students think for themselves and sparks creativity. Helps students to find themselves and their voice.

May be ineffective in combination with standardized practices implemented in schools.

We like how inquiry based learning has everyone get involved by asking questions, and it motivates students to become more involved because it is something they are passionate about or interested in. We dislike that there isn't a lot of structure, which for some students can be difficult.

Kaye: went to an art school, and got to pick and choose what to do. Public school was also very similar.

Grace & Maddie have not had much of an experience with inquiry based learning, yet.

I think it helps to get the voice of every student heard because it is done on what they students are interested in. What we don't like is that some students may feel singled out because they are asked to voice there opinion, also because it is opinion biased students may argue about what they said.

# data[].attributes.body
We liked the fact that inquiry based learning allows for freedom and curiosity, it also gives students a sense of accomplishment once they finish and allows them to feel like an expert in the field.
We disliked the fact that inquiry based learning is dependent on students being in charge of the other student's learning. If one group isn't interested in their topic, and they present to the rest of the class, the class as a whole can suffer.

How will you incorporate inquiry based learning into this course to make students more engaging?

# data[].attributes.body
Likes:
Inquiry based learning helps the students develop their own opinions and thoughts.
Develops research skills.
The students get excited and develop curiosity.
Teaches children to become self driven.
Dislikes:
If the student lacks drive/interest then it will be more difficult for them to learn.

Fishbowl discussions in classrooms where students need to take charge. A year long project that students were able to take time to learn new skills and present those findings to other students and teachers.

My high school tried this model a lot but the execution was very poor. I really like this idea and think that is good in concept, but the downfall is the execution.

# data[].attributes.body
We like that it allows the student to learn about thing that they are curious about. One thing that we dislike is that there are no specific guidelines to follow which can be to keep students on track.

# data[].attributes.body
A common experience we can think of is in elementary when we were asked to pick our favorite animal and then research, create a presentation, and present to the class. Another shared experience is inconsistencies in and out of the classroom, in some spaces learning and questioning the world around you is encouraged while in others it is strongly discouraged, creating a disconnect for many students.

# data[].attributes.body
We've had discussion based learning and assignments that are very open-ended, leaving us to be the driving force for the questions. In English especially with papers, there are often papers where teachers leave the topic up to students. In science, it is the driving force of the field so there have been a lot of projects where studies have needed to be designed or other questions to be asked that students designed.

How will you separate all 95 kids and their different drives within one class?

-Grace N, Maddie M, Kaye S

When my teachers tried to use inquiry-based learning it was mostly when there was a presentation for a topic. The teacher would often tell the class they can choose their own topic, however it had to have certain requirements. When I try to pitch my idea I would often get told to choose something else. Teachers like the idea of giving students freedom, but they don't execute it well.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how you learn by asking questions. you learn what you want to learn when you ask a question. One thing i dislike about inquiry learning is the fact that you have to figure out the answers on your own

# data[].attributes.body
We like how the kids have a choice in their inquiry. They can express themselves as well as challenge their own ideas. A con of Inquiry Based learning is theres little to no structure, which could easily be too much of a challenge for some students.

# data[].attributes.body
We all like that it is very student bases. When students are interested in the topic they are more likely to want to learn. Having the atmosphere of the classroom being exciting and inclusive can make it more enjoyable for the student. It also allows lessons or topics to be slowed down or sped up to adhere to students who are behind or ahead. For a negative side having students share infront of the class can cause some anxiety. Also there will always be that one kid who refuses to participate and as a teacher it may cause a difficult situation.

# data[].attributes.body
like: it's engaging, let's the students have a voice/choice in what they are learning, so they are more likely to participate
dislike: it's up to the students, they are still students who more likely just want to sleep through class even if what they are learning about is up to them.
-Ariana T, Maddie S, Alissa R.

It's a method of learning that makes it a little more interesting, not a job. It gives students breathing room and allows them to explore whatever they may be learning at they're pace.

How will we create an engaging environment for all students with all different interests, majors, and passions?

I have had this used in a writing type of setting not in a normal class setting. I think that it could possibly spark arguments in the class setting. The one time that I had it used in an English class it caused arguments.

In high school we both took a class called Current Events. We would be given a topic and were expected to formulate our own opinions based on research and prior knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
How will we be able to ALL ask questions and go about learning in this way when the class is so large? How will this be accomplished when the class has to meet a specific requirement, and has a schedule and curriculum already set out?

Is it effective for students when it comes to standardized testing?

Is there a certain age that it works best with? How do you keep students involved and interested?

# data[].attributes.body
Most of our experience with inquiry based learning is early on in new units and when teachers assigned one question per group in a large class. It works well in theory, but to actually work correctly, students have to be curious about the topic and willing to do the research.

# data[].attributes.body
How could teachers easily transfer into this technique from past, more standard techniques while still making students feel comfortable? What are some ways to display the "presenting" aspect of this technique without making children that do not feel comfortable sharing in a classroom setting have to do so?

Lyn: We got to choose a research project that we got to research and it was better than doing one assigned to me because I was interested in the topic.
Jenna: We were given a book that the whole class had to read and we had to capture the main character in a project, but the project could be anything from a report to a mural to a list of songs that captured the essence of the character.

In high school none of us really had encountered any inquiry based learning. But now as we have started college we have. College is much more inclusive and the professors

# data[].attributes.body
We have been able to choose topics for research essays, which allowed us to follow our curiosity and passion. We have had teachers had us write questions about a specific topic which led us to finding topics we enjoyed learning about. All though it was a challenge at times, it forced us as the student to lean on advice from the teacher.

# data[].attributes.body
As a teacher, how do you push students in the right direction to keep learning while also giving them their freedom? How do you cultivate curiosity in students if they're not interested in the topic? What do you do when students aren't exactly comfortable sharing their information in front of the class?

# data[].attributes.body
Will the inquiry projects be group based or solo?

# data[].attributes.body
Not much, the closest we have gotten is choosing what topic we go over first in class.
-Ariana T, Maddie S, Alissa R.

Henry- In my Ag and woodworking classes we chose our own projects as well as our own way of completing them which was Inquiry based I suppose
SaQara- I'm not sure if this counts but I helped out in the Special Ed classroom in my school. I had to interact and be hands on with the students and help teach. I had to lead little lessons and help with schoolwork for the students.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think that it is the best idea for shy people but if the class is okay with it then It could be great to spark a good conversation

How do you incorporate every student and make sure everyone gets a chance to express their opinion rather than just a select few?

1. How would you use this in a school that has a very set cirriculum.

Will we have the freedom to choose how we present our information? Not just writing papers, but other creative ways to share?
