Learning coach guided questions for a formal inquiry should encourage critical thinking, exploration, and reflection. Here are two examples:
-
What evidence or data do you have to support your hypothesis, and how can you analyze this information to draw meaningful conclusions?
- This question prompts students to think critically about the sources of information they are using and encourages them to consider how they can validate their findings through analysis.
-
How does your inquiry connect to broader themes or concepts within the subject area, and what implications might your findings have in real-world contexts?
- This question encourages students to make connections beyond their immediate inquiry, fostering a deeper understanding of the material and its relevance to larger societal or global issues.
These questions are designed to stimulate thought and guide learners in structuring their inquiry process effectively.
