It is not a separate or specific part of learning, but is rather the approach and lens through which we view all forms and facets of learning. Practitioner inquiry includes many related genres (e.g., teacher research. Of course, a reader will find insight into both the nature of inquiry and approaches to achieving it.
CONTEXTS FOR INQUIRY PROFESSIONAL
Built on a foundation of professional learning and research on how children develop mathematical understanding, everything-from multi-day workshops to new print resources-is about supporting better math instruction.Ĭathy and her colleagues have developed a web-based assessment app and an online Personalized Professional Support System to further support teachers and schools using Contexts for Learning Mathematics. Inquiry is not a one-off moment in learning. books about practitioner research and its many roles in educational contexts. Part II, entitled Implementing Inquiry, focuses on approaches to offering inquiry experiences, from discussions of strategies to change student and instructor behaviors to descriptions and analyses of course design and project structures. New Perspectives on Learning meets the needs of today’s teachers and leaders by offering personally tailored workshops, on-site and in-class lesson study work, as well as Seminars-by-the Sea™ on the New England coast. In 2007 she established New Perspectives on Learning to devote her time to speaking around the world, fostering school change through professional learning and support, and producing new resources and materials. Furthermore, inquiry is inherently context-bound, and context-based teaching requires extra-situational knowledge from the context and not only declarative. My concern for autobiographical writing is premised on an appropriation of the primacy of inquiry in a critically motivated pragmatism that makes agency and the possibility of collective revision its project. She is Professor Emerita of Education at the City College of New York and the founder of Mathematics in the City, a national center for professional development located at the college. As pedagogical practices, life-writings present contexts for inquiry into the conditions and constitution of the limits to sub-jectivity. In particular, we discuss the appropriateness of inquiry-based learning. It requires them to be active participants as they gather information, analyze their findings, and apply critical thinking of what they learn. "Our work is driven by the desire to transform classrooms into communities of mathematicians."Ĭathy Fosnot is a leading voice in mathematics education. public administration postgraduate education in a context of internationalisation. Inquiry skills are important for student learning.
