First session:Introduction and overview.Development through the school – MYP Personal Projects
Continuing……….How does this tie in with 21st century learning?How does this tie in with Units of Inquiry?PLUSHands on

Second Session (March 4):Go through all stages of PLUS – include scaffolding for students. How the research would be organized; what lessons it would involve; what the students would do; how the TL could help; what the teacher would do. Hands-on session, using current planners, work on specific examples.

Research done in Hong Kong (2008) into the development of research skills through inquiry-based learning:
Review of the literature suggests that the implementation of an IBL approach in schools includes the following seven key components:
1. Students are provided with rich information sources (Alloway et al., 1997; Jakes, Pennington, & Knodle, 2002);2. Students are equipped with information literacy skills (Alloway et al.; Harada, 2002; Kuhlthau, 2003);

Review of the literature (continued):
3. A climate of inquiry is created in the classroom (Alloway et al.; Hakkarainen, Lipponen, Jarvela, & Niemivirta, 1999);4. Scaffolding support is provided to students in developing driving questions (Alloway et al.; Harada & Yoshina, 2004a; Jakes et al.; McKenzie, 1997);5. Students go through an information-seeking process (Harada; Kuhlthau);6. Students develop their own research process (Harada; Kuhlthau);7. Students learn to present their findings (Alloway; Jakes et al.).

Review of the literature (continued):
Owens, Hester, and Teale (2002) reported on the use of technology to support Inquiry Based Learning programs for 7-15-year-old urban students. They suggested that technology:enhances cognition, particularly in areas of reading and writing. technology can serve as a ground for students’ active construction of knowledge, rather than as tutor and communicator of informationFurthermore, access to technology makes schools seem more real-world, and students are able to push the boundaries of their traditional school curriculum.

PLUS (Incorporating the Topsy Factor)
Preparation/Planning (The importance of meaningful questioning; the inquiry itself)
Location and Use (Information Literacy; the role of technology; the 21st century learner)
Self-evaluation (Where the inquiry will lead – Action; further questioning)

P - Preparation/PlanningFor the student: NB the need for prior knowledge. Students will not have a successful inquiry if they have no grounding.Brainstorming - What exactly is my topic about? What do I already know about this topic? Identifying an information need. Learning to frame realistic research questions. Planning a piece of research using diagrams or headings. Identifying keywords.
![Page 21: Research Process 2 Feb 09](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110118/55493ec9b4c9050f4d8b4f08/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
QuestioningJamie McKenzie talks about building answers as opposed to gathering. For him the qualities of a serial questioner are, among others:Humility, relentless curiosity, indefatigable persistence, dogged determination, open-mindedness, tolerance of ambiguity, thirst for the missing, wit, vivid imagination.
Sense of wonder, curiosity, wish to understand.

Essential Questions – Fact finding
or deep understanding?Are we thinkers or collectors?
•Deal with matters of importance•Must lead to some challenge or action – move beyond understanding and studying•Cannot be answered by Yes or No•May be frustrating•May be unanswerable

L – LocationUse my key words and questions to search for the information I need. Where will I find it?
Print resources, pre-selected web sites, search engines, on-line resources, reference books, non-fiction books, multimedia resources.
Selection skills – what to look for, and how to evaluate it. Relevancy, currency, accuracy, reliability.
Searching skills
Keeping a resource list; bibliography.

U – USEHow will I use the information I have found? Make notes? Draw a diagram? Draw a concept map?
Skills:Reading skills, skimming and scanning, Interactive skills – do I understand what I am reading, how can I relate this to what I know already?Recording skillsSynthesizing skillsWriting or presentational skillsCreativityConstructing knowledge

S – SELF EVALUATION
Have I found the answers to my questions? Were my questions searching ones? Did I have useful key words? Have I kept a record of the sources I used?
Am I happy with the way my work was presented? What action will follow from this work? What new questions have I come up with?
