Inquiry and IBL pedagogies
What do inquiry tasks look like in science?
Tool IH-2: Exploring IBL tasks in science
Overview
Aims: • To develop awareness of the educational
potential of IBL approaches
We will:• Explore some IBL tasks • Share reflections as a group• Prepare to use a task with a class
Exploring IBL tasks
Examine some of the IBL tasks from the MaScil repository at http://www.mascil-project.eu/classroom-material.html
Consider carefully what students would actually be doing if they engaged with these tasks.
Further questions about IBL tasks
The MaScil ‘Inquiry Learning Dimensions’ are:• exploring situations;• planning investigations;• experimenting systematically;• interpreting and evaluating; and• communicating results.
To what extent would you agree with these dimensions?
Using IBL tasks with students
Consider:• the challenges students may face when
working on the activities;• ways in which teachers might support
students with these tasks;• the type of classroom atmosphere required to
encourage discussion of alternative strategies, ideas and explanations from students.
Finishing offSelect a MaScil task (or one from another source) and try using this with a class.
After the lesson:• Reflect on the responses of students to the
task;• Identify anything you have learned yourself
or would do differently;• Be ready to report back to the group next
time.
