Inquiry- Give more opportunities for students to responsible for their learnings and keen to take the role over to inquiry more according to students ownership.


notes by Lyn WK
The inquiry nature of the PYP: Children inquire, question, wonder and theorize about themselves, others and the world around them. They are keen observers and explorers. Through their experiences and interactions, they naturally develop intricate, multilayered perceptions and understandings. Throughout the PYP, a student is an agent for their own and others’ learning through the concept of learner agency.

This gives students to use their learning experiences as a starting point and hence enables students to have a voice, choice and ownership for their own learning.

Agency cannot be adequately defined as an individual attribute. The socio-cultural context within which it is enacted also needs to be considered - as well as the ways in which individuals interact with this context. Agency has to be understood as a dynamic and relational process, embedded in a changing social context.

Notes by Vivian
Learning community- Consider more inquiry-based and practical learning environment for agency and a good psychological environment and social behavior to adapt to different learning needs.

Culture understanding- develop different cultural understanding to enhance the sense of international mindedness.

Notes by Lyn WK
When teachers and students both have to consider their beliefs around children’s identities and rights, the parents personal beliefs, theories, cultural backgrounds and values would also work for or against learner agency.]]> 2019-02-16 12:10:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lynkyalo/bbmae6a8r13v/wish/331989907 Technology and Innovative learning environments lynkyalo https://padlet.com/lynkyalo/bbmae6a8r13v/wish/331990064 notes by Lyn WK
