Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
with the use of existing thought processes, where there is learning the student will explore and examine the subject for themselves, for example, picking up an item they want to
examine and looking or feeling it ((Joyce et al, 1992). This process may also include asking others about it. It is the use of problem focused events, however this is
largely a self motivated learning model and student may require more structure (Joyce et al, 1992). This may be used individually by students but requires practice as part of a
group first (Joyce et al, 1992). The dedicative inquiry model is more structured, with the teacher presenting a general principle and then the students are engaged in using
that principle applying it to activities, which builds on the general principle (Wilcox, 1987). Discovery learning is an approach that was advocated
by Bruner, which may also fit in with the ideas of Hirst,(1990). Here the student learns by discovering, this needs the teacher and the student to work to together to
allow the student to discover the principles. Hirst (1990) describes a discovery approach well; "When men (sic) first built an aeroplane they did not learn all the chemistry, mathematics, physics
and all about airflow and dynamics. To work out how to fly you have got to actually build an aeroplane, push it out, load it and behold there it goes!
Taking control of the world grows ... by trying to do things that actually work". This may be useful, but it is a system that does require a level of
pre-existing knowledge and takes a high degree of planning and can be heavy on resources. However, this is a method of learning that creates a high level of understanding.
