Problem Centered Inquiry
I am really conflicted on this model. On one hand, I feel this model is the most conducive to be taught in an EAST environment. It is exactly what we do as facilitators to lead students through the problem solving process they encounter in their project. I felt, however, while planning my lesson, that I was being too repetitive. I really had a hard time distinguishing the differences between the third and fourth steps. I was also a bit unsure about how to assess the learning in this model. I chose to have the students document their thoughts through the entire process and to reflect on the process, but I was not really as sure of myself as I would have like to be.

I agree with you on the uncertainty. I liked the way my lesson worked out,but I too wasn't sure that the way I set it up matched with the steps as well as it should. Overall it seems to be a good model to get students to really think through problems and collaborate with each other on a problem. That I am sure they did. Hope to hear more from you on Monday.
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way on the steps. Some just go together and there is not a break in the thought process. I look forward to seeing what you came up with.
