The use of Guided Group Inquiry (GGI) to facilitate students achieving the

Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) of Work based learning

Principal Investigator: Dr Chan Yue-kuen Estella Co-Investigators: Ms Frances Wai-hing Leung Mr Simon Wu Mr Joannes Lee Dr. Phoebe TsoiTeaching Development Grant – Sharing session

Background

• Work based learning / ILOs• Guided Group Inquiry (GGI)

2 x 2 hours inquiry group Facilitated by instructors

• Inquiry based group learning• Semi-structured / instructor led

TDG Project No. 6000137 PI: Dr Chan Yue-kuen (SS)

Our Team (SS)

• Principal Investigator: Dr Chan Yue-kuen Estella

• Co-Investigator(s):Ms Frances Wai-hing Leung, Mr Simon Wu, Mr Joannes Lee, and Dr. Phoebe Tsoi (who resigned but remained on the team)

The ILOs

• One of the major themes – to become a reflective professional

• E.g. taking greater control and responsibility for their own learning in this practicum

• formulating generalizations and abstractions

• ……. • DEEP LEARNING?

Our curiosities ?

• Teaching requires a degree of curiosity !

• What works and what does not? • How to make the best use of these

GGIs ?• And how to achieve deep learning?

TDG Project No. 6000137 PI: Dr Chan Yue-kuen (SS)

Page 6: The use of Guided Group Inquiry (GGI) to facilitate students achieving the Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) of Work based learning Principal Investigator:

How do we understand GGI

• Inquiry based vs problem based• No fixed answer ???• A space for inquiry !!!!• Students take charge with teacher’s

guidance • Time limited

TDG Project No. 6000137 PI: Dr Chan Yue-kuen (SS)

Page 7: The use of Guided Group Inquiry (GGI) to facilitate students achieving the Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) of Work based learning Principal Investigator:

Research Methods

• More than 10 sessions of guided group inquiry (GGI) were conducted, recorded and transcribed

• Two focus groups were conducted to collect comments from students

• After attending each GGI session, students were requested to write up an reflective report on their learning

TDG Project No. 6000137 PI: Dr Chan Yue-kuen (SS)

Coding system

• A coding system was developed to analyze the massive data on the verbal interactions collected from video-tapes of 9 GGI sessions, based on a coding system of a process study in analyzing verbal interactions in tutorial groups

Page 9: The use of Guided Group Inquiry (GGI) to facilitate students achieving the Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) of Work based learning Principal Investigator:

Preliminary findings – Group A

• 5 students• Setting specific• Orientating questions from 33%(44) to 29% (86)• Exploratory questions from 23% (31) to 27% (89)• Discovery questions from 15% (20) to 5% (16)• Cumulative questions from 17% (22) to 16% (47)• Reflective statement from 7% (9) to 14 % (42) • Major contribution from Instructor – Exploratory

questions 68% (21) to 53% (42)

Page 10: The use of Guided Group Inquiry (GGI) to facilitate students achieving the Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) of Work based learning Principal Investigator:

Group A

• Substantial increase in the proportion of their reflective statements in the second session (from 9 to 42 )

• What induced the change?

TDG Project No. 6000137 PI: Dr Chan Yue-kuen (SS)

Page 11: The use of Guided Group Inquiry (GGI) to facilitate students achieving the Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) of Work based learning Principal Investigator:

Preliminary findings – Group B

• 3 students• Setting specific• Orientating questions from 95%(60) to 100% (64)• Exploratory questions from 68% (43) to 76% (25)• Discovery questions from 100% (30) to 32% (16)• Cumulative questions from 100% (108) to 100%

(52)• Reflective statement from 7% (9) to 14 % (42) • Major contribution from Instructor – Procedural

statements 100% (21) to 63 % (42)

TDG Project No. 6000137 PI: Dr Chan Yue-kuen (SS)

Page 12: The use of Guided Group Inquiry (GGI) to facilitate students achieving the Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) of Work based learning Principal Investigator:

Preliminary findings – Group F

• 7 Students • Subject specific• Orientating questions from 88%(107) to 88%

(73)• Exploratory questions from 28% (22) to 31%

(19)• Discovery questions from 71% (12) to 89% (24)• Cumulative questions from 100% (1) to 0% (0)• Reflective statement from 0% (0) to 100 % (19) • Major contribution from Instructor – Exploratory

statements 72% (56) to 69 % (42)

Reflective statements

• there a substantial increase in the proportion of their reflective statements in the second session

• For Group A, from 9 to 42• For Group B, from 9 to 42 • For Group F, from 0 to 19• Does that imply a higher level of

learning?

The teachers’ teaching roles in GGI

• Overall speaking, exploratory questions and statements, including open question/statement, critical question/statement and verification question/statement were important communicative activities for the instructor in subject based as well as setting based sessions in order to facilitate the GGI process.

Selective feedbacks from students

• “….from the process, I can listen different ways about how to deal with the different situation from different students. Some of the opinions and the situations were I never thought it. It can prepare me to have psychological preparation to face the similar problems. During discussion, I also can think critically about the possible ways to solve the situation that classmates raised. It provides a space for me to think”. Student A

• “I think what I have learnt most is to view an event from another perspective, and to have self-reflection on more levels. Student B

Page 17: The use of Guided Group Inquiry (GGI) to facilitate students achieving the Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) of Work based learning Principal Investigator:

Our next questions

• What kinds of students would benefit most from GGI?

• How about cultural difference? • What sort of learning would that the

form of teaching and learning be best for?

• How to manage student’s expectation?

3 S - Clues for teachers?

• Structure - providing procedural and exploratory statements

• Space – keep my mouth shut

• Safety – provide supports and allow for diversity

Thanks for Your listening

and participation
