Reflection Sheet

1. Take some time to think about your topic.

Inquiry Based Learning and Information Literacy.
Now write down what you know about it.

IBL and IL are linked in that they allow both processes to develop when active engagement in the research process occurs. I have used IBL in the teaching areas of SOSE and Geography. Both curriculum areas require students to actively engage in the inquiry process.

2. How interseted are you in this topic?
A great deal

3. How much do you know about this topic?

I know about Geographical inquiry as I have taught senior Geography for over 10 years. Other models of IBL and IL are not as familiar.

4.When you do research, what do you generally find easy to do?

I find it easy to locate abundant information and organise my key questions.

5. When you research, what do you generally find difficult to do?


It's difficult to get started if the task is overwhelming and the topic is unfamiliar. Quite often it is the amount of time required to sift through the loads of information that becomes frustrating.
