Inquiry Based learning article

Regina Davenport: Wow!! What an interesting article. I am old school but i am also a CTE teacher and a lot of my classroom activities is focused on inquiry based learning. We explore various diseases and i really think students need to understand the why? and How? I still think they need basic knowledge to be able to understand when something is wrong with a patient and then use their skills to rule out various issues. I think the ideal classroom would use a balance approach between traditional based learning and inquiry based learning. It has given me an idea of how to incorporate more of inquiry based learning by given patients symptoms and having students come up with a diagnosis and an explanation of how they narrowed down their diagnosis and use my classroom like an episode of "House".

  1. Regina it was nice to share stories with you the other night at class. I think I have finally figured out how to post, although my name does not come up. This is Lori Rollins, and we spoke on Tuesday in Dr. Tilley's class. You are right, using your classroom like an episode of "House" would be very fun for the kids. Just please don't do Grey's Anatomy where they all sang! HA HA Have a great night!
