EDUC 450 – Inquiry Seminar I
Inquiry Seminar (I) is designed to engender
- an understanding of teaching as a moral and intellectual activity requiring inquiry, judgement and engagement with multiple others—students, parents, colleagues, scholarly community.
- an appreciation of the importance of research in understanding curriculum, teaching and learning.
- a desire to engage in one’s own educational inquiries—to become students of teaching.

How your Inquiry Proposal Can Take Shape:
Your introduction should define the key term in your questions (i.e: Problem Based Learning), then compare it with how educators and scholars define it, then write a solid literature review and then establish some links to practice.
