Influences of Inquiry on Secondary Students' Learning in the Social Studies

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

The authors present studies that employ variations of inquiry in secondary social studies classrooms. They describe ways in which students' conceptualizations of significant constructs are shaped by social/cultural influences and the ways in which students engage in meaning-making as they study historical and contemporary contexts. Findings point toward the impact on students' sense of social responsibility and agency.
