Inquiries, Investigations

and Immersion
Words to ponder!
Inquiry
Investigation
Immersion
Research study
Concept
Inquiry Based Learning
Brainstorming
Inquiry
It is a question which you ask
in order to get some information.
It is the process of asking about or
investigating something in order
to find out more about it. It is an
investigation. An act of asking
information and seeking for truth,
and information or knowledge by
interrogation/questioning.
Examples of Inquiry:
Students conducting a lab experiment on plant
growth ask, "Does the type of soil affect how
fast the plant grows?" and set up an
experiment to find out.
This is inquiry in action, combining questioning
and investigation.
What are the requirements for enrolling in a
particular course?
How can I join the robotics club? And what are
its activities?
Characteristics Inquiry

It is designed to
generate multiple
alternatives.
It encourages
exchanges of ideas.
It is an open
process.
Investigation
Investigation is the
systematic process of
gathering, examining, and
analyzing information to
uncover facts, solve a
problem, or draw
conclusions. It involves
curiosity, critical thinking,
and a methodological
approach to finding
Example of Investigation
Scenario: A theft occurs in a neighborhood.
Investigation Process:
Observation: Noticing that a window was
broken.
Questioning: Interview neighbors and ask if
they saw or heard anything unusual.
Evidence Collection: Gather fingerprints,
review CCTV footage, and collect other clues from
the scene.
Analysis: Analyzing the evidence to identify
potential suspects.
Conclusion: Based on the findings, the police
apprehend the thief.
Immersion
It is the process of learning a
skill by using nothing else but
that skill. It is the fact of
becoming completely involved
in something.
Example of Immersion
Work Immersion Program: Senior high
school students participating in a work
immersion program at a local business or
institution. For instance, students
aspiring to pursue a medical career
might spend time in a hospital, observing
and assisting medical staff. This provides
them with real-world exposure to their
chosen field, enhancing their skills and
understanding of professional practices.
Research Study
A research study is a
systematic investigation aimed
at discovering, interpreting, or
revising facts, theories, or
applications in a particular field.
It involves gathering data,
analyzing it, and drawing
conclusions to address specific
questions or problems.
Concept
It is a conceptual
representations, abstract
objects or abilities that
make up the fundamental
building blocks of
thoughts and beliefs
INQUIRY BASED
LEARNING
Most distinguishing
characteristics is the
it begins with a
question.
ELEMENTS of INQUIRY
BASED LEARNING
1) ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS: Formulation of appropriate questions. IBL
begins with a question

2) STUDENT ENGAGEMENT: Participating in their own learning.


3) COOPERATIVE INTERACTION: Create their own learning,
communicate/work in pairs or groups, discussing ideas.

4) PERFORMANCE EVALUATION: teachers to create instruction


that can measure student learning to demonstrate their level of understanding
(scoring guides/rubrics)

5) VARIETY OF RESOURCES. Interpretation and assessment of


evidence to support their learning (Ex. Textbooks, websites, experts, etc.)
Steps of Preparing Research
Steps in an Inquiry-Based Learning

Focus. Which is an ill-structured problem


demands consideration of diverse perspectives.

Decide on a topic. Think-aloud, asks probing


questions, monitors and encourages participants to
decide a topic.

Understanding the problem. This will include


clarifications of misconceptions and possibilities.

Decide on the problem. This the final stage done


to address problems within manageable scales and
extend their learning pathways.
Brainstorming
It is a way of inquiring ideas
which will help you to develop
concepts and focusing technique
by asking questions and knowing
the interests of the persons involve
in the said issues . The potential
ideas can be visualized for
interpretations.
2 PHASES of Brainstorming

IDEA
EVALUATION
GENERATION
Phases of Brainstorming
Idea Generation
To encourage free-flowing creativity and
produce as many ideas as possible
without judgment or criticism.

Evaluation
To analyze, refine, and select the most
viable ideas generated in the first phase.
Brainstorming
 People are more willing to talk because they
are part of a group.
 Often used for creative problem solving.
 Vulnerable game without rules or guidelines.
 6 to 10 max are usually effective number of
people to participate in a brainstorming,
DON’T make the group too big.
 All participants should be given a chance to
contribute to the process.
 Constructive criticism is allowed.
BENEFITS of Brainstorming
 More fun
 Can generate a positive
organizational climate
 Can inspire talented and skilled
students
 Can inspire talented and highly
skilled employees to remain in an
organization
HOW TO
capture the ideas

 Traditional method
 Electronic method
 Post-it notes
Performance Task No. 1
Problem Identification (Inquiry):
Select a real-world issue relevant to
your community or interests.
Examples include environmental
challenges, educational accessibility,
or technological advancements.
Formulate at least three essential
questions to guide your inquiry (e.g.,
"What are the effects of waste
mismanagement in our community?"
or "How can we improve STEM
engagement among youth?").
Example:
Topic: Environmental Challenge
1. What are the primary sources of
plastic waste in our community?
2. How does plastic waste affect
local ecosystems and residents?
3. What innovative methods can we
implement to reduce plastic
waste?
