I met up with an NIE lecturer and Alexis (ETD) to discuss areas of collaboration. Some useful ideas thrown up:
1. There are different "models" of inquiry with different dimensions for investigation. These may be modified or adapted to the needs of the project or the intervention strategy identified.
2. An inquiry-based approach seeks to engage learners in different orders of thinking.
3. Such an approach may be based on ICT via an online module.
4. A two-tiered mcq requires an initial large population exploratory survey to gather possible trains of thought which follows from each of the first-tier option given.
5. If the project design is valid and substantial data is available, a good analysis of the data can lead to a good research paper.
