Inquiry Inquiry Course RequirementCourse RequirementPurpose To conduct research on a topic related to teaching and learning

Procedures Select one research summary from Arends as a starting point.

This will serve as your “theme.” Select several articles from professional journals (secondary

sources). Interview at least two classroom teachers or others (primary

sources). Compose a two-page paper. Present multi-media presentation. Distribute one page handout.

Submit each report and handout on WebCT Assignments Inquiry

Inquiry - ExampleInquiry - ExampleResearch Question

What are the characteristics of a good teacher?

Based on Research Summary in Arends text.See Chapter 1, p 33. Murphy, Delli, and Edwards. (2004).”The Good Teacher and Good Teaching.” Journal of Experimental Education, 72, 2, 69-93.

Next Step--Identify articles from professional journals (secondary sources).• Receive instruction for on-line searching at Adams Library, if needed.• Review the professional literature (journals, books, WWW sites)

Next Step - Interview two experienced teachers (primary sources)Ask and take notes : What are the characteristics of a good teacher? Present a list of attributes Rate: Most important, least important.
