Inquiry and Problem-Based Learning

This document outlines constructivist perspectives on teaching and learning. It discusses how teachers should elicit students' ideas, provide varied resources, and make their thinking explicit. Students should engage in complex problem-based activities, work collaboratively with support, and apply knowledge in authentic contexts. Inquiry and problem-based learning are emphasized, where students solve open-ended problems. Cognitive apprenticeship and reciprocal teaching are also covered, with students learning from an expert teacher through modeling, coaching, scaffolding, and reflection. Collaboration and cooperation are important, with cooperative learning supporting students to elaborate, interpret, explain, and argue through productive group interactions.
