INQUIRY SKILLS [10 records]

Record 1 2024-05-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Training of Personnel
  • Internet and Telematics
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
CONT

When the student flounders excessively, the system acts as a coach but it does not address inquiry skills directly, since the bites for investigative behavior constitute a sort of metacurriculum. Instead, it advises the student in her investigation of the domain, employing different levels of hints as in WEST.

DEF

guidage discret : En EIAO, orientation de l'élève avec interventions minimales de la part du tuteur intelligent. Le tuteur donne des conseils, fournit des explications, suggère des indices ou recommande des activités.

CONT

L'intensité de l'encadrement didactique peut varier selon le degré d'indépendance qu'on veut bien laisser à l'élève dans son cheminement à travers le didacticiel. Un encadrement fort oblige l'élève à suivre les étapes tel que prévu par l'enseignant, tandis que l'encadrement faible lui permet de choisir lui-même les étapes qu'il désire suivre.

OBS

Comparer à guidage normatif, directif, dirigiste.

Record 2 2018-05-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Research
CONT

The different ways that scientists explore or seek truth in the world can be collectively described as scientific inquiry. The most traditional model for conducting scientific inquiry is known as the scientific method.

CONT

Although closely related to science processes, scientific inquiry extends beyond the mere development of process skills such as observing, inferring, classifying, predicting, measuring, questioning, interpreting and analyzing data. Scientific inquiry includes the traditional science processes, but also refers to the combining of these processes with scientific knowledge, scientific reasoning and critical thinking to develop scientific knowledge.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Recherche scientifique
CONT

L'enquête scientifique vise à mettre l’accent sur la compréhension du monde naturel et du monde construit par l'homme, en faisant intervenir des méthodes empiriques systématiques pour former des théories visant à expliquer des faits observés et à faciliter leur prévisibilité.

DEF

[an environment which provides] students with the freedom to explore and a sense of control as they investigate a domain within a simulative context geared toward both operational knowledge and articulate conceptualization.

CONT

A number of successful systems simply provided an environment for exploration. These systems contained no explicit notion of student goals, performance, or state, and had no built-in capacities to direct the student toward some purposeful behavior.

CONT

We describe the initial prototype of a discovery environment, called Voltaville, designed to build scientific inquiry skills in the context of learning the principles underlying DC(direct current) electric circuits.

CONT

... a discovery learning environment wherein students can explore the phenomenon of refraction in a self-guided manner....

CONT

Laboratories provide exploratory environments within which one can study problems and pursue goals of learning and research.

DEF

En EIAO [enseignement intelligemment assisté par ordinateur], ensemble d'outils informatiques permettant l'exploration à des fins d'apprentissage d'une discipline ou champ d'étude. Il se distingue par la présence d'un ensemble des connaissances déclaratives ou procédurales, et par l'intégration de techniques de programmation fonctionnelle, logique et orientée-objet.

OBS

Selon un professeur de Lancaster, G.-B., ces environnements n'ont pas de stratégie pédagogique pré-établie; l'apprenant utilise librement les outils mis à sa disposition sans être guidé, évalué, corrigé, etc.

CONT

Appreciative inquiry is a particular way of asking questions and envisioning the future that fosters positive relationships and builds on the basic goodness in a person, a situation, or an organization. In so doing, it enhances a system's capacity for collaboration and change... The basic idea is to build organizations around what works, rather than trying to fix what doesn’t. It is the opposite of problem solving. Instead of focusing gaps and inadequacies to find blame and remediate skills or practices, AI focuses on how to create more of the occasional exceptional performance that is occurring because a core of strengths is aligned.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gestion de l'entreprise (Généralités)

  • Psychologie (Généralités)
CONT

L'interrogation appréciative désigne une manière particulière de poser des questions et d'envisager l'avenir, qui favorise les relations positives et repose sur la bonté fondamentale chez une personne, dans une situation ou dans une organisation. Ce faisant, elle renforce la capacité d'un système sur le plan de la collaboration et du changement [...] Il s'agit de s'organiser selon ce qui fonctionne, plutôt que d'essayer de corriger ce qui ne fonctionne pas. C'est à l'opposé de la résolution de problèmes. Au lieu de mettre l'accent sur les écarts et faiblesses pour trouver ce qui ne va pas et remédier aux lacunes liées aux compétences ou aux pratiques, l'IA s'efforce de reproduire davantage le rendement exceptionnel atteint occasionnellement en raison de l'alignement de composantes de base.

SMITHTOWN(Shute an Glaser, 1986; Shute and Bonar, 1986) is a system for teaching economics, which combines a microworld for exploratory learning with a(bite-sized tutoring module.) The student is presented with a simulated town; she can vary parameters such as the supply or the price of certain goods to study the modifications induced in other parameters. Figure 7. 11 shows a snapshot of SMITHTOWN's "notebook" facility, which allows the student to record her experiments. The system implements two simultaneous pedagogical intentions : teaching principles of economics and teaching general investigative behaviors. Bites at the economics level monitor which laws the student is discovering, supplying the name of the new concept when she makes a relevant hypothesis. If the student flounders excessively, the system can become more directive and suggest experiments according to a curriculum that organizes the(domain bites). Bites for investigative behaviors monitor various skills of scientific inquiry such as the ability to collect and record data in a systematic way. At this level, the system acts as a coach, but it does not address inquiry skills directly, since these bites constitute a sort of(metacurriculum).
