Questionaire #1

1. What do I know about my topic?

I have a very generalised (sparse) understanding of Inquiry Based Learning, although for years I have believed that I have been leading my students through this approach to research - we will have to see...

2. How interested am I in this topic?

Very interested

3. How much do I know about this topic?

I know that as a teacher (or guide in this instance, I need to know a LOT more to be able to guide the children effectively to get the most out of their acutal guided inquiries.)

4. When I do research, what do I generally find easy to do?

I find it very easy to find answers to my questions, as well as find a lot of resources to use to illustrate my findings.

5. When I do research, what do I generally find difficult to do?

I find it difficult to analyse and synthesise information at times. I also find it difficult to stop searching once I start - it is like a bug - once I start finding good information, it is hard to simply decide that I have enough resources, links and information.
