Feature of classroom Inquiry

Learners are engaged by scientifically oriented questions:

1. The why and how are important for this feature. This feature also needs to have questions that the students want to know and they are able to figure out on their own that isn't too broad. Teacher guides the identification of questions coming from students. This allows the students to experience both interersting and productive investigations. questions posed by the teacher must be meaningful and relevant to the students.

2. The teacher needs to make an atmoshpere where the students feel comfortable to ask questions to help further their understanding. By doing this would allow the students to access their prior knowledge to answer their questions to figure out an answer. Without this the students wouldn't feel comfortable to do inquiry. When they answer these questions they need to use reliable resources to back up their claims. This is the initial hook for students to inquiry.

3. In a classroom the teacher proposing a topic and the students ask questions related to this topic. The questions refer to the hows of a topic. The teacher is the facilitator of the questions the students ask. It is oaky for the teacher to pose the questions because students and teachers take a joint role in the learning process.

4. The teacher is posing questions, but is rejecting questions from students because they are not answering the teachers specific questions. Technically the teacher had the students engaged by the questions though we were offended that he wasn't able to be flexible with students questions.
