Inquiry-based learning in Action

Inquiry Learning
 
With a view to catering for students’ learning individual differences and enhancing the effectiveness of learning and teaching, our school has implemented effective teaching strategies in our small-class teaching. One of these is “Inquiry Learning” which has been adopted in our school in the past five years.
 
The “Four-Day Inquiry Learning” has been held for P.1 to P.5 students.  We are pleased to collaborate with the Chinese University of Hong Kong to design the Inquiry Learning for our students.  The “Inquiry Learning” will focus on nurturing our students’ generic skills and self-learning skills as well as widening their learning experiences.  In the “Inquiry Learning”, students will immerse themselves in a variety of individual and group learning activities within a topic, context or problem.  Students learn through their learning experiences and inquiry process.  Under the guidance of teachers and learning settings, students are encouraged to cooperate with one another to learn through -  
  • creating questions of their own
  • doing a field-work or experiments
  • collecting relevant information about the topic
  • analyzing the information and statistics
  • preparing their presentation  
  • presenting their learning outcome
 
The topics of “Inquiry Learning” are as follows:
P.1 – Toys for Kids
P.2 – The people who serve in our school
P.3 – Change in our community
P.4 – Little Inventor
P.5 – Chinese Opera (School Chinese Theme – Chinese Culture)
