This project builds on prior research on the ThinkerTools Inquiry Curriculum. The new project seeks to explore how and under what conditions students learn to generalize their inquiry and reflective skills beyond a single curricular domain, and to what extent these effects on learning are lasting. The research will include three strands: 1) extending the existing inquiry curriculum in middle school physics to additional subject domains, such as biology, 2) exploring new classroom activities for engaging students in metacognitive reflection, and 3) conducting a longitudinal study of transfer across grades and school subjects. This research will make possible the development and evaluation of a more complete account of the learning and transfer of inquiry and reflective skills across curricular domains.Barbara White and John Frederiksen are the principal investigators.
