3. Pre-Task (5min)
• Did you all understand the task similarly? Did
you find the task useful for you as a teacher?
• What did you do before you started to collect
information related to your topic?
• How did you work as a group? Did you split
tasks? Did everyone see everything?
• Did you continue to rewrite your material after
the first round?
• Describe on the Padlet wall how did you prepare your
own teaching session. Answer following questions.
(Short bullet points are fine.)
4. Progressive Inquiry
• It fits well learning situations when …
• Target is knowledge building or problem
solving
• Learning takes place in collaboration in a
group
• Doesn't that sound somewhat familiar?
• Does that model describe any aspects of
your group work?
• Could you use this approach in your work /
in this course?
• We are going to present a pedagogical model called
Progressive Inquiry
5. Progressive Inquiry –
• Organize orienting activities
• Purpose: direct students and foster commitment
• Anchor the problem to real world, not school-books
6. Progressive Inquiry –
• Questions or problems that guide the process
• Most valuable are questions from students themselves
• Can be done individually or in groups
7. Progressive Inquiry –
• Write down prior knowledge and explanations
• Share this with others – see it from different perspective
• Culture of questioning and elaborating knowledge
8. Progressive Inquiry –
• How well prior theories explain the problem?
• What we do not know intuitively?
• What more knowledge and information do we need?
9. Progressive Inquiry –
• Explore diverse information sources
• Compare your intuitive explanations to expert knowledge
or scientific theories
10. Progressive Inquiry –
• More information about the topic leads deeper in
the problem to more specific questions.
11. Progressive Inquiry –
• Answers to these more specific questions lead finally also
to answer to the original big question.
• And probably iteratively triggers new questions.
12. Other Cyclical Learning Theories
Find information (use Google) on some
other cyclical theories. Summarize your
main findings on the Padlet wall. Prepare
to present it. You have about 7mins 30sec.
Student(s) from group Dewey:
Kolb's Experimental Learning
Student(s) from group Freire:
5 E Learning Cycle
13. Similarities and Differences
• Go to http://padlet.com/wall/l2f8v57jmj.
• Keep also the other Padlet wall open!
• This Padlet is shared between all three
teaching groups. So you will see but not
hear what others think.
• Compare Progressive Inquire model to
Kolb's Experimental Learning and to 5E
Learning Cycle
• Discuss your observations!
• Write your conclusions to the Padlet wall!
14. Topics for Discussion
• Did you notice any similarities with these models and how
you did your group work?
• Do you think you could apply these principles as a
teacher?
