The Practice of Inquiry: A Pedagogical ‘Sweet Spot’ for Digital Literacy?
Open accessAbstract
In this article the authors introduce the practice of inquiry and discuss the case for it as a signature pedagogy for digital literacy. The Inquiry Cycle is presented as a summary of important aspects of inquiry. Further, the Practice Profile of Inquiry provides a practical tool, which can be incorporated into everyday classroom practice. Examples from the Digital Literacy in Irish Primary Schools project are presented to show how surface, deep, and implicit structures of curriculum are enacted within an inquiry perspective. The Inquiry Cycle and the Practice Profile of Inquiry offer a means for educators to foster inquiry-based learning while making the best use of new digital media and tools.

“…for conceptualizing learning as the practice of inquiry can be found in the writings of There is also evidence that the current emphasis on high-stakes testing leads predominantly to fragmentation and narrowing of subject area knowledge and increased use of teacher-centered pedagogies (Au, 2007).”

“Communication can be seen as an external process where students present and communicate their findings and conclusions to others, and receive feedback and comments from others (see Scanlon et al., 2011) and sometimes listen to others and articulate one’s own understandings (Bruce & Casey, 2012).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
