ATL AND an INQUIRY APPROACH
CONSIDER the types of inquiry in the chart below.
. Structured Inquiry: These include affective skills which focus on
producing works for the intended activity. These can include:
Practise focus and concentration
Demonstrate persistence and perseverance Demonstrate flexibility in the selection and use of learning strategies Use appropriate forms of writing for different purposes and audiences Structure information in summaries, essays and reports Exercise leadership and take on a variety of roles within groups Create novel solutions to authentic problems Design new machines, media and technologies Apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products or processes Create original works and ideas; use existing works and ideas in new ways Apply skills and knowledge in unfamiliar situations Combine knowledge, understanding and skills to create products or solutions 2. Guided Inquiry: these would include cognitive skills which involve information processing and retrieval strategies in order to develop the procedure required. These can include:
Negotiate ideas and knowledge with peers and teachers
Preview and skim texts to build understanding Organize and depict information logically Apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products or processes Plan short- and long-term assignments; meet deadlines Keep an organized and logical system of information files/notebooks Use appropriate strategies for organizing complex information Collect and analyse data to identify solutions and make informed decisions
3. Student Initiated Inquiry: These include meta cognitive skills such as:
Negotiate ideas and knowledge with peers and teachers
Share ideas with multiple audiences Negotiate effectively Plan strategies and take action to achieve personal and academic goals Develop new skills, techniques and strategies for effective learning Identify strengths and weaknesses of personal learning strategies (self-assessment) Collect and analyse data to identify solutions and make informed decisions Evaluate and select information sources and digital tools based on their appropriateness to specific tasks Apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products or processes Use appropriate strategies for organizing complex information Analyse complex concepts and projects into their constituent parts and synthesize them to create new understanding
Which skills are common across the types of inquiry?
Common skills I would say would include those relevant to organizing information and collecting data. Mostly meta cognitive such as:
Apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products or
processes Negotiate ideas and knowledge with peers and teachers Collect and analyse data to identify solutions and make informed decisions
