https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6 Is the process of Inquiry a better way to learn? en-us 2017-02-09 08:51:53 UTC 2017-02-09 13:03:04 UTC hello@padlet.com felicitas_schreiner https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713227 2017-02-09 09:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713227 caroline_weiss https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713230 Even though projects may be fun and aid understanding it is more important to know about every Unit in depth for the IB exams. And since this is the only thing that counts (next to the project) I believe there should be a strong increase in out of book learning and quizzing. ]]> 2017-02-09 09:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713230 sandra_frystacki https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713305 2017-02-09 09:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713305 elena_pinnau https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713393 I think that it depends on the situation. An example of when Inquiry is a good way of learning is when doing the IB, as it gives a great insight of each units to understand them even better. With Inquiry based learning, students are able to further develop their thinking skills and other skills that are needed and useful today to have. ]]> 2017-02-09 09:44:49 UTC https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713393 cosima_schreiner https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713394 2017-02-09 09:44:49 UTC https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713394 caitlin_monachan https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713415 I believe Inquiry work is helpful to DP students as it lets us explore each unit in a lot of depth for the IB exams. ]]> 2017-02-09 09:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713415 sofiya_kazmina https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713504 For the IB system this process is helpful - it allows a student to get a full understanding of the topics. Projects are helpful since theory might differentiate from the actual process in some cases. Balance of the two is best.]]> 2017-02-09 09:45:16 UTC https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713504 mercedes_schmeller https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713588 I believe that creative projects are great for students who take initiative and know how to manage their time wisely. Personally I wish that we would have done unit by unit and then have a quiz at the end as this is how one can be assured that everything has been understood and this is the core of the DT IB exams. I hoped in 11th grade that the projects would involve using machinery and tools not just sketching and researching things on the internet. ]]> 2017-02-09 09:45:38 UTC https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713588 patrick_laske https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713635 I believe that project-based work allows for the development of important skills, such as conceptual thinking and independent learning. I think that projects allow students to make links between course materials in a setting that is more interesting for the learner. This is because projects allow students to apply the knowledge they learn in class to real life situations, thereby allowing them to further explore their interests and passions. ]]> 2017-02-09 09:45:50 UTC https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713635 benjamin_kriesel https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713684 2017-02-09 09:46:01 UTC https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713684 austria_gardner https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713825 I am personally fine with inquiry through project-based learning, but I think a good balance of text book work AND projects can be much more beneficial. Inquiry based learning can allow students to develop certain skills and allow us to become familiar with a subject or topic in a fun way, but sometimes reading and writing can also help.]]> 2017-02-09 09:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152713825 theresa_brost https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152714019 Students can in theory only listen concentratedly for 20 minutes, hence also the limited times on ted talks. I think having said this, that it is important to have a mixture of learning approaches. I think it is very important that people learn through doing. Of course listening is important too. ]]> 2017-02-09 09:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152714019 chumeng_zong https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152714026 I think that inquiry work can effectively help students to develop their skills in researching and reinforce their ability to become a self learner. To work on a project-based project can help individual to develop their thinking skill and work independently throughout the project. As an result, the student might aquire more achievements and skills than learning the theory from books. On the other side, there are also significant advantage in learning based on textbooks. Coming from a country that teaches most of the knowledge from textbook, I gained solid knowledge by reciting and practising. It is an efficient way of learning knowledge, however, student miss the opportunity to look up researches by themselves. ]]> 2017-02-09 09:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152714026 v_prandetskaya https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152714822 I think inquiry is necessary for being successful in educational systems and can  help students to develop skills and help to apply knowledge to real life situation getting more openminded and getting a better understanding. ]]> 2017-02-09 09:50:46 UTC https://padlet.com/akelei33a/391w4zpfftv6/wish/152714822
