| IN-PERSON WORKSHOP | |||||||||
| The definition of Inquiry Fluency entails learners' ability to discern and apply the appropriate strategies in a sequential and scaffolded manner throughout their inquiry journey at each stage of the inquiry cycle. This fluency empowers learners to navigate the complexities of inquiry-based learning by strategically utilizing a repertoire of thinking skills and approaches tailored to the specific demands of each phase in the inquiry process. In order to equip our learners for the future, wherein they may have access to ICT or AI support to facilitate the acquisition of factual knowledge, it is imperative to foster their capacity as reflective thinkers who possess a well-defined thinking process and a coherent repertoire of strategies. This cognitive toolkit, organized in a concise and sequential manner, empowers learners to take ownership of their inquiry journeys and enables them to pose relevant and probing questions even in intricate and abstract contexts. This ability is not inherently possessed by students but is cultivated through the learning process. Teachers play a crucial role in establishing the scaffolding for thinking, guiding students to understand and master various thinking strategies, and supporting the construction, evaluation, and adjustment of thinking processes. In order to help students develop inquiry fluency, teachers themselves need to possess fluency in inquiry and have the skills and methods to foster inquiry fluency. However, the process of developing inquiry fluency often lacks effective guidance and evaluation. During the two-day interactive workshop, participants will explore the concept of inquiry fluency, understand why learners need inquiry fluency, and discover strategies for developing inquiry fluency in students. They will also learn how to incorporate inquiry fluency into units of study and explore strategies for teachers and curriculum leaders to develop their own inquiry fluency. The workshop provides participants with the opportunity to collaboratively apply the methods and strategies to any topic. It is suitable for K-12 educators from all subject areas, whether they are new to inquiry-based learning or have prior experience. |

| 工作坊简介 | |||||||||
| “探究流畅度”的定义是指学习者在探究过程中，能够在探究循环的每个阶段，有序地运用适当的策略进行思维搭建。这种流畅度使学习者能够通过有针对性地运用一系列思维技能和方法，灵活应对探究学习的复杂性，以满足每个探究阶段的具体要求。 为了让我们的学习者为未来做好准备，在那个时代，他们可以通过信息通信技术（ICT）或人工智能（AI）支持来获取事实知识，培养他们作为思考者的能力就显得尤为重要。这些思考者具备清晰的思维过程和连贯的策略库。这种认知工具按照简洁而有序的方式组织，使学习者能够主导自己的探究旅程，并能够在复杂而抽象的情境中提出相关而深入的问题。 这种能力不是学生天生具备的，而是通过学习过程中培养的。教师在思维搭建中起着至关重要的作用，引导学生理解和掌握各种思维策略，并支持思维过程的构建、评估和调整。 为了帮助学生发展探究流畅度，教师自己也需要具备探究流畅度，并掌握培养探究流畅度的技能和方法。然而，在发展探究流畅度的过程中往往缺乏有效的指导和评估。 在为期两天的互动研讨会中，与会者将探索探究流畅度的概念，了解学习者为何需要探究流畅度，并发现培养学生探究流畅度的策略。他们还将学习如何将探究流畅度纳入制定单元学习计划，并探索教师和课程领导者培养自己探究流畅度的策略。 这个研讨会为与会者提供了一个共同应用方法和策略于任何主题的机会。它适合来自各学科领域的K-12教育者，无论他们是否是初次接触探究式学习，还是有相关经验。 |
