Blog Post #2 Learning Design
Jingjing’s post 2.

Hi Jingjing,

I really like your detailed explanation of inquiry-based learning and the infographic you found that demonstrates some of the ideas of this approach. The six important points you mentioned at the end of the blog sound like learning outcomes that students who learned how to use inquiry-based learning will be able to do and I think it is a nice touch because the last part could be a checking list for the readers of your blog to see whether they got the “points”.

You also mentioned in the beginning of the blog about the specific process and they all seem to have the students as the subject meaning that in this type of learning students lead their learning. I wonder where does the role of teachers or instructors come in? Or could this type of learning approach be done entirely by students? If students could do it all by themselves, what’s the difference between inquiry-based learning and self-learning?
