Session outline

 

Workshop 1 (2.00-3.00pm)

 

In inquiry-based learning (IBL) students take charge of their learning,
using the scholarly and research practices of their disciplines to move
towards autonomy in creating and sharing knowledge in their fields. They
collaborate with peers and with more experienced scholars/researchers
who provide support and guidance, and they share the results of their
inquiries with each other and wider audiences. Some approaches to IBL
involve students in large-scale, 'whole-cycle' research projects while
others involve them in exploring a smaller-scale question or theme and
in developing their understanding of, and skills in, specific elements
of a larger research process. 

 

This workshop will offer an introduction to IBL across the academic
disciplines, and to research/evaluation that has investigated the impact
of this approach to learning and teaching on students' learning
experiences. Case examples of IBL at the University of Sheffield will be
presented, including examples of information literacy development
activities for IBL and inquiry-based approaches to information literacy
pedagogy.

 

Workshop 2 (3.30-4.30pm)

 

From the perspective of the IBL designer-facilitator, the challenge is
to create the conditions in which students' inquiries are stimulated,
and in which students are supported effectively to develop their inquiry
capabilities and skills. Support takes the form of activities,
assessments, resources, guidance and environments that are designed to
scaffold the inquiry experience. This workshop will present a conceptual
framework for an undergraduate 'inquiry curriculum', and explore
principles and practical ideas for designing and assessing IBL. The
workshop will include a small-scale, practical design task -
participants will be able to choose between working together in small
groups on a scenario that will be provided, or on a real-life scenario
based on their own interests. The expectation is that the workshop will
generate different perspectives and ideas, which participants may wish
to build on in their own practice. 

 

Both workshops will be interactive and suitable for both IBL 'beginners'

and more experienced practitioners of IBL, including academic staff and
professional services staff involved in the development and support of
learning and teaching.
