Teaching as Reflective Inquiry I.

Catalog description

Teaching as Reflective Inquiry I is the first of a three-part course in which preservice teachers are introduced to the concept of teacher research. First, participants critically analyze readings and teacher-inquiry products of experienced teacher researchers. They then conduct a mini-inquiry into their own practices that emerge as a result of their participation in the summer experience. These activities set the stage for more advanced consideration and application of teacher inquiry methods in parts II and III of the course, that lead to a culminating project during the professional practice practicum.
