Interactions between Inquiry Processes in a Web-Based Learning Environment
Abstract
In this study, we analyzed the application of a web-based learning environment named "Young Researcher" (http://bio.edu.ee/teadlane) in developing learners' transformative and regulative inquiry skills. We designed a theoretical framework of interactions between inquiry processes and tested it empirically. Data were collected during an all-Estonian competition in which 268 pairs of students from grades 6 to 12 (aged 10-18) participated. During the competition, five problem-solving tasks were solved in the "Young Researcher" learning environment. The analysis of the results demonstrated that the learning environment was suitable for developing transformative inquiry skills and regulative planning skills. It also revealed that the students were actively monitoring and evaluating their learning. Significant interactions were found between planning and transformative inquiry skills, while correlations between other regulative skills and between these regulative skills and transformative skills did not appear.

The successful application of inquiry cycles in situations ranging from in-classroom activities to computer-based environments suggests an underlying commonality that is at the core of inquiry-based learning.
“Although the literature on inquiry cycles and phases presents a variety of terms for phases and connections between phases, the successful application of inquiry cycles in situations ranging from in-classroom activities (Meyerson & Secules, 2001) to computer-based environments (de Jong et al., 2010;Mäeots, Pedaste, & Sarapuu, 2011) suggests an underlying commonality that is at the core of inquiry-”

“According to Quintana [14], this support can help students to manage their processes of inquiry and encourage them to articulate their thinking and reflect on their learning [15].”

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.
