This book focuses on inquiry-based teaching, one of the five vital
aspects of the instructional work of school librarians identified
in the second edition of the IFLA School Library Guidelines (2015).
Effective implementation of inquiry-based teaching and learning
requires a consistent instructional approach, based on a model of
inquiry that is built upon foundations of research and best
practice. The book explains the importance and significance of
inquiry as a process of learning; outlines the research
underpinning this process of learning; describes ways in which
models of inquiry have been developed; provides recommendations for
implementing the use of such models; and demonstrates how the other
core instructional activities of school librarians, such as
literacy and reading promotion, media and information literacy
instruction, technology integration and professional development of
teachers, can be integrated into inquiry. Inquiry-based learning is
part of "learning to be a learner," a lifelong pursuit involving
finding and using information. Inquiry develops the skills and
understandings that learners need in new information environments,
whether that be as students in post-secondary institutions, as
producers and creators in workplaces, or as citizens in
communities. Through inquiry-based teaching, school librarians help
students to build the essential skills and understandings needed
for dealing with complex learning challenges, including analysis,
critical thinking, and problem solving. In this book, special
attention is given to the development of students' metacognitive
abilities, which are essential to their becoming life-long and
life-wide learners.
