Investigating inquiry
Inquiry Models
Confirmation Inquiry
-
Benefits:
- Good for teaching technical Film skills (camera, sound, editing basics).
- Reduces ambiguity for beginners.
Challenges:
-
- Limited TOK questioning or exploration of ways of knowing.
Structured Inquiry
Definition: Teacher gives problem, materials, and procedure, but not the outcome.
Benefits:
- Helps students begin interpreting meaning on their own.
- Useful in Film for guided analysis (e.g., how framing creates perspective).
Challenges:
- Teacher still chooses the angle of inquiry.
- Some TOK depth is limited because framing of the question is predefined.
Guided Inquiry
-
Benefits:
- Students justify choices, mirroring TOK reasoning.
- Works well in Film for creative tasks (e.g., visually showing tension without dialogue).
Challenges:
- Students may feel lost at first.
- Requires more time and support.
Open Inquiry
Definition: Students create their own question, plan their method, and propose solutions.
Benefits:
- Most similar to real filmmaking and TOK exploration.
- Encourages full ownership, creativity, and epistemic reflection.
Challenges:
- Requires maturity and independence.
- Harder to manage with less-prepared students.
Reflections
Challenges and Benefits:
- Each model balances guidance and freedom differently.
- More open models encourage deeper Film creativity and TOK reasoning.
-
My Comfort Level:
- Most comfortable with Guided Inquiry.
- Provides structure but still allows student autonomy.
