abstract |
Student engagement in the design and implementation of inquiries is an effective way
for them to learn about the inquiry process and the domain being studied. However,
inquiry learning in geography can be challenging for teachers and students due to
the complexity of scientific inquiry and the diversity of pupils’ and teachers’ knowledge
and abilities. To address this, the Personal Inquiry project has designed a tool kit
that includes nQuire, a Web-based tool to support students through the inquiry process.
Here, we identify when, across five lessons comprising an inquiry into microclimates,
nQuire was used by a teacher and a case study group of her 12 to 13-year-old students,
and the ways in which they adopted nQuire as a tool to facilitate the creation of
a coherent and cumulative inquiry learning experience over time. We found that students’
use of nQuire supported them in capturing and representing their evolving understanding
of inquiry, in defining and supporting their progression through the process of inquiry
and in resourcing their cognitive engagement in data interpretation and representation.
nQuire supported the students in accumulating and integrating new understandings across
contexts and over time. In this way, nQuire successfully resourced and supported the
students’ learning journeys or trajectories. We conclude that nQuire can be an effective
tool for supporting teachers’ and students’ understanding of the nature of inquiry
and how to design and implement inquiries of their own. |
