Carol Collier Kuhlthau (USA): Guided learning: inquiry in the 21st century
==· Increased numbers of computers in classrooms has resulted in an increased need for information and ICT literacy in schools. == ==· Students need new skills, new knowledge and new ways of learning == ==· We need to move beyond how to use technology tools to using ICT for creativity and understanding. == ==· Teachers cannot manage the inquiry process alone. == ==· 21st century learning is inquiry learning. Inquiry learning is not an optional research project. == ==· Students need to go beyond fact finding to personal understanding. == ==· Students need ongoing guidance. == ==· Inquiry learning is a planned, managed process. == ==· How are students feeling at different stages of the process? Their feelings provide a zone of intervention for teachers and the TL to provide support. == ==· A 3 member core team is recommended – teacher, TL and subject specialist. == ==· Information literacy – locating, evaluating and using information. == ==· Gain support of teachers and leadership team when developing an implementation plan. == ==· Share successes and problems with selected teachers and members of leadership team. ==
