What we thought about inquiry

Below is a list of words and phrases that our FLC associated with inquiry as of the initial weekly meeting (Sept. 19, 2007). These have been sorted across three general themes. We will see if and how our vision of inquiry changes over the semester.

Developmental:
- way of looking at the world
- intellectual development
- finding out for yourself
- making a pain of myself

Discovery:
- curiosity
- investigation
- exploration
- engagement
- research
- reflection
- observation

Questioning:
- asking questions
- new knowledge
- what, why, how
- answers
- get information
- problem solving

[Thanks, Judy for sorting these into themes.]
