Inquiry Learning
Inquiry learning is difficult to do well. Inquiry learning, done well, will require
changes to classroom practice, school structures and procedures, school resources, and classroom programmes.

Seven BIG Learning Messages
Intelligence is not fixed Effort is as important as ability Learning is strongly influenced by emotion We all learn in different ways Deep learning is an active process Learning is messy We learn from the company we keep

Not all students learn in the same way
How you perceive information
How you process information
How you organise and present information
A learning style has three main aspects

What is assessment?
An ongoing process aimed at understanding and improving student learning
Evidence that students know, can do and understand
It’s more than just collecting data
![Page 14: Assessment in Inquiry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555a02bed8b42ad00a8b505a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Assessment
Focus on how we come to know, as opposed to what we know
Focus on the development of information-processing and problem-solving skills

Why do we need to assess?

Importance of Assessment
To find out what the students know (knowledge)
To find out what the students can do, and how well they can do it (skill; performance)
To find out how students go about the task of doing their work (process)
To find out how students feel about their work (motivation, effort)

AssessmentConversations
“When kids are given choices in what they read and what they write, and time to think about what they are doing, their writing and reading get better.
When we trust them to set goals and to evaluate their learning in progress, we will begin to realize that they know much more than we allow them to tell us through our set curriculums, our standardized tests, our writing samples.”
Linda Reif

‘In times of change the learners will inherit the earth,
while the knowers will find themselves beautifully equipped to
deal with a world that no longer exists.’

Looking at your inquiry plan for next year:
1. Decide on exactly what it is that you are going to assess2. Decide the best way that the skill, understanding,
knowledge, application, attitude, performance, etc. can be assessed.
3. List the criteria you will assess against.4. Design an authentic task to assess that skill,
understanding, knowledge, application, attitude, performance, etc.
