This study advances the emerging research on shared metacognition through the lens of the community of inquiry framework. It seeks components and utterances of the community of inquiry and shared metacognition in online collaborative learning environments to bring an instructional design model to the fore. A three-cycle design-based research…

Future needs and challenges, especially in complex real-world problem-solving, require education to equip individuals with quality skills. Inquiry-based learning that integrates socio-scientific issues (SSI) can significantly develop students' problem-solving skills. This study aims to test the effects of the Socio-Scientific Real-world Inquiry…

Rapid advancements in bioengineering call for broad public literacy to help individuals better understand the changes these technologies bring to our lives. However, making bioengineering concepts accessible and relevant, especially to non-science majors, is often challenging. To address this challenge, we designed a general education course aimed…

In this short piece, we argue that, in light of issues with traditional grading practices, critical assessment activities, particularly through guided reflexivity, can support equitable and social justice-oriented education in communication and beyond. The article posits that a culture-centered critically reflexive self-assessment empowers…

Inquiry-based learning (IBL) represents a dynamic pedagogical approach in science education, driven by a foundation of deep theoretical constructs. This paper meticulously examines the cornerstone theoretical underpinnings of IBL, centering on constructivism, situated cognition, and cognitive load theories. Constructivism, epitomized by Piaget's…

This article describes an exercise for a physical laboratory experiment designed to enable physical geography students to practice transferable quantitative skills through inquiry-based learning. The exercise is a deliberately simplified physical model of storm-driven coastal overwash typical of low-lying coastal barrier systems. The experiment…

The notion of children's working theories is an overarching outcome of Aotearoa New Zealand's early childhood curriculum document "Te Whariki." An ever-growing base of research and literature is available about the working theories children hold and ways that teachers might support working theory development. In this article, I draw on…

This study aims to investigate the effects of inquiry-based learning with peer-assisted technique on sixth grade students. Achievement and learning satisfaction towards inquiry-based learning with peer-assisted technique on sixth grade students were investigate. The participants used in this research were 32 sixth grade students from the second…

Play is crucial for early childhood development, and outdoor play fosters exploration and inquiry. Inquiry is a cyclic process of observing, forming questions, finding answers, and reflecting. Little research examines reflection in early childhood, and the current project addresses this gap by studying children's inquiry and reflection skills in…

The effective implementation of Collaborative Inquiry-based Learning (CIL) activities hinges upon the learners receiving ample support and timely feedback. Without explicit guidance from educators within the interaction design, inquiry processes, and task steps, the efficacy of learning outcomes is challenging to ensure. Virtual teachers have the…

Development of students' argumentative capability in mathematics supports deeper conceptual understanding and reasoning. However, young students often lack the prerequisite communicative competency. This study examines how one teacher supported students in building collective argumentation through an extended mathematical inquiry. Analysis of…

This article examines the impact of implementing a didactic strategy rooted in inquiry-based learning on the development of pro-environmental behaviors. The study considers the Learning Approaches and Performance Levels achieved by 108 students aged 13 to 16 from a public rural educational institution in the Department of Meta, Colombia. This…

Design-Based Learning (DBL) is a pedagogical approach where learning is situated in the context of design activities that are typically carried out in groups. During collaborative design inquiry, reflection is of vital importance for learning from design experience. The paper presents a research-through-design study with the intention to generate…

It is no surprise that concern for the future is on the rise. Several catastrophes obscure our future(s) imaginary, such as climate change, a global pandemic, racial inequality, and political polarization. Students are feeling a disconnect between what they learn in classrooms and the futures that populate their media platforms. Futures literacies…

Process oriented guided inquiry learning (POGIL), is a group-learning method that contributes to the active participation of learners in learning/teaching environments. However, a standard process for using the POGIL in classes is not available. In addition, no systematic reviews using bibliometric analysis in the literature examine the studies…
