SIG 20

Inquiry Learning

The Computer Supported Inquiry Learning SIG focuses on how information and communication technology can be used to design learning environments for effective inquiry learning. Inquiry learning is defined as  “… an approach to learning that involves a process of exploration, that leads to asking questions and making discoveries in the search for new understandings”. (Foundations, Vol, 2, NSF, 2000). The design of effective inquiry learning environments involves the inquiry aspect (e.g., a computer simulation, or a modeling environment) and the necessary cognitive scaffolds. To achieve an adequate design, a deep understanding of the learning processes that comprise inquiry learning and the difficulties learners may experience is necessary. The interests of the SIG include, but are not limited, to the following topics: collaborative inquiry learning, learning by modeling, scaffolding inquiry learning processes, assessment techniques for inquiry learning processes and their outcomes, and implementation of computer supported inquiry learning in the curriculum and the everyday classroom.

The EARLI SIG originates from a SIG with the same name that is sponsored in the context of Kaleidoscope, an EU Network of Excellence on Technology Enhanced Learning.
