Beyond the Research Project: Inquiry Every Day and Every Way
Marino, John; Eisenberg, Mike
Knowledge Quest, v47 n2 p57-60 Nov-Dec 2018
Instructional collaborations between classroom teachers and school librarians often involve the "research project." These annual assignments (typically) are opportunities to put the inquiry process into practice and provide a rich context for learning. The National School Library Standards for Learners, School Librarians, and School Libraries (2018) remind us that inquiry happens beyond the research project--inquiry happens every time a student uses information to answer a question, complete an assignment, or solve a problem. Moreover, inquiry will look different in the context of each subject area. The purpose of this article is to offer a new way to see inquiry: as something that happens routinely in solving problems with information, as something that requires a common process but contextualized approach in each situation, and as something that is critical in personalized and lifelong learning.
