My question of inquiry that I have chosen to endeavour into is a common situation that teachers are faced within their classrooms every day. In order for students to develop appropriately they must be properly scaffolded while also being lead into a place of autonomy. Students need to be helped along the way during their learning while being given some kind of responsibility. With that said, how do we as instructors provide this effective guidance for students? How do we know when to provide more scaffolding than autonomy? Through research and observations I will dive into the physical structure of this question. My hope is that through my explorations and discoveries I too will better my own understanding of inquiry, and therefor improve my own teaching perspective.
