The Presentation stage is the culmination of the inquiry process, when the learning is prepared to share with others.(Kuhlthau et al, 2007)
I have now submitted the draft of my context essay, ready to be reviewed by my peers. Well two at least!
Although I am confident about the new knowledge I have found to underpin my learning activity, I am very eager to have feedback on this literature review from my colleagues. Especially, as they are using upper primary students as their inquiry group as well. I am nervous about giving the feedback as I do not feel like I have the expertise to do so, adequately. I am relieved that Mandy is going to give us an example of how to give the feedback constructively and with purpose.
The Alberta Model of Inquiry (Alberta Learning, 2004), which I have adopted as a model to teach and learn about inquiry with my students in my learning activity suggests that students will have success in this Sharing Phase if they are given opportunities to share their findings and new understandings with an appropriate audience. Success in this stage of the inquiry will also come with students being able to offer constructive suggestions and criticisms to their peers in the same way.
