Inquiry-Based Learning

Inquiry-Based Learning

Front: Inquiry-based learning is an approach that encourages students to construct their own knowledge through teacher-guided exploration and questioning. An inquiry-based learning approach is key to developing computational thinking and leads to higher order thinking and deeper levels of learning.

Back: Model inquiry-based strategies for teachers throughout the coaching cycle, and support their implementation in the classroom. Ways to build a teacher's skillset in this area include: model the teaching of an inquiry-based learning activity, point to frameworks for inquiry-based learning like POGIL, work with the teacher to find new opportunities to incorporate inquiry, discuss the ideas of teachers as experienced co-learners, and strengthen the teacher's CS content knowledge.
