Inquiry

Oxford University Press 2015

Inquiry is wanting to know; craving knowledge. Asking questions and finding answers is how you express inquiry and when you stop asking questions you have stopped inquiring. Inquiry is emphasized at the Dayton Regional STEM School because they want us to learn as much and as best as we can. When we learn at STEM it’s because we really want to not because they’re forcing us to, which has a lot to do with PBL. Because we’re finding information for the project, we really want to figure things out; therefore, we use inquiry in almost every one of our projects. The Renaissance dinner Party in World History is an example of one where we had to basically become a famous Renaissance person and impersonate that person at a dinner party and discus with other “Renaissance people”. The entire project was based on how much you could find out about your person by asking questions about this person’s life and how to become them so we really had to use a lot of inquiry.
