Cognitive inquiry sequence and reflection report Weight: 60% Length: 2400 words (notional length) Learning Outcomes of EDSS 479 being assessed: 3, 4, 5 UNE Graduate Attributes being addressed: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 Graduate Teacher Standards being addressed: 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, 2.1, 2.2, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 5.1, 5.2, 6.2, 6.3, Task overview This assignment requires you to design a cognitive inquiry sequence to teach an aspect of history using the model introduced to you in EDSS479 in Module 1 ( find in additional file attached ). You will need to consider which teaching strategies will best suit your purpose for each stage of the inquiry model and the sources of information you will need to teach this history topic in the primary classroom. This assignment also enables you to apply the knowledge that you have gained in other units in your degree program. The components of this assignment would be appropriate inclusions in your portfolio. This planned inquiry sequence will help you to demonstrate Professional Teaching Standards: Element 1: Know students and how they learn; Element 2: Know the content and how to teach it Element 3: Plan for and implement effective teaching and learning; Element 5: Assess, provide feedback and report on student learning and Element 6: Engage in professional learning. Task description Assignment 2 requires you to plan a cognitive inquiry sequence that is based on a history question from one of the units listed in the table that follows. Each unit has a question in bold. You are to select one of these to base your planning on. Presenting the whole unit enables you to see the ‘big picture' in which the question you select fits. You are able to see the preceding questions students will investigate in the unit before investigating the question you select and the questions students will go on to investigate after. The task in detail Part 1: Planning a cognitive inquiry sequence Plan an inquiry sequence based on a question that investigates an aspect of history using the inquiry model introduced to you in EDSS479. This model is outlined in Module 1. Your sequence plan must have the following features: a sequence inquiry question as the heading for the sequence (selected from the list provided in the table below) an answer to the question you are expecting students to develop, written in language that is age appropriate An outcome from your state's History Syllabus or equivalent (e.g. Content description if using the Australia Curriculum: History) that the question will address the six stages of the inquiry model clear links between levels of the sequence through sequentially related activities requiring active student involvement and utilising different types of thinking the use of information sources by students to get started with their investigation, to find out information to answer the sequence inquiry question and to make connections a clear indication of where and how assessment of the outcome (or equivalent e.g. content description) will occur a full list of the information sources used in Level 1 (Get Interested), Level 2 (Find out) and Level 5 (Make Connections) model template MUST be used (note page orientation is portrait ) Part 2: Reflection report (500 words) You are to write a 500-word reflection report answering the following questions: How has your understanding of inquiry methodology further developed as a result of this planning? 2. What have you learned about the topic that your sequence plan is based upon? Bibliography A bibliography is required at the end of this assignment. A bibliography is a wider list of reading that includes both in-text references and other sources which may have informed your thinking on the topic, but may not have been placed as an in-text reference in your assignment. Question list Select one of the questions in bold from the four units listed to develop your cognitive inquiry sequence.
