Features of Inquiry Learning: Analysis

Answers, Analysis, Reflection

Inquiries can be closed or open.
Closed inquiries have definite answers.
Open and active inquiries can have answers but more often have conclusions based on analysis and reflection.
Make sure that students have the opportunity to analyse and reflect and conclude.
Use one or more of the following Analytic Strategies.
- Recalling and observing evidence related to the problem
- Comparing and clarifying evidence according to some predetermined criteria.
- Defining the evidence so that it is clear and unambiguous.
- Interpreting the data to explain its meaning and significance.
- Generalising from the evidence to derive a principle or main idea.
- Inferring from the evidence to predict and hypothesise beyond the data.
Hints for applying each of these analytic strategies follow:

Recalling and Observing
Aim: To selectively retrieve, recognise or remember items related to the study.
Procedure: Identify and note all relevant items.
Make a summarising statement.

Comparing and Classifying
Aim: To compare evidence obtained and to classify it according to stated criteria.
Procedure: summarise similarities and differences
decide on a basis for grouping similarities and differences
label each group

Interpreting, Generalising, Inferring
Aim: To explain the significance of findings, and draw reasonable, sensible and applicable conclusion(s) from the data.
Procedure: Identify and describe major relationships within the evidence
Summarise, explain or conclude on the basis of the data.
