00:00:03.500 --> 00:00:08.820
In the inquiry and research strand,
students engage in the processes of

00:00:08.820 --> 00:00:13.620
inquiry and research by generating
questions, seeking answers to those

00:00:13.620 --> 00:00:18.390
questions, developing and refining
research plans, and presenting the

00:00:18.390 --> 00:00:23.580
results of their research. In this strand,
students engage in the recursive or

00:00:23.580 --> 00:00:28.500
repetitive processes of inquiry and
research. In other words, students will

00:00:28.500 --> 00:00:33.149
continuously return to earlier parts of
the process to refine the research

00:00:33.149 --> 00:00:39.300
question, identify sources to help answer
their inquiries, and review and evaluate

00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:43.680
the information gathered. In the lower
elementary grades, students develop

00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:48.539
questions for formal and informal
inquiry with the assistance of adults. As

00:00:48.539 --> 00:00:53.190
they progress through the grade levels,
students learn to generate research

00:00:53.190 --> 00:00:59.070
questions on their own and clarify their
questions to fine-tune the focus of

00:00:59.070 --> 00:01:03.329
their research. At all grade levels,
students learn to develop and refine

00:01:03.329 --> 00:01:08.400
questions for both informal and formal
inquiry. Students learn about the

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:13.170
research process, and then develop and
revise a research plan, with adult

00:01:13.170 --> 00:01:17.939
assistance in the elementary grades and
independently in middle and high school,

00:01:17.939 --> 00:01:22.350
that helps to guide their research.
Beginning in middle school, students will

00:01:22.350 --> 00:01:27.390
develop and refine the major research
question based on the information they

00:01:27.390 --> 00:01:32.310
have gathered. At high school, students
evaluate or critique their own research

00:01:32.310 --> 00:01:37.710
process and make adjustments as needed. Students at all grade levels learn to

00:01:37.710 --> 00:01:42.840
identify and gather information from a
variety of sources. They will learn to

00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.850
seek out information to find answers to
their research questions. Students also

00:01:47.850 --> 00:01:53.040
learn to evaluate the sources they find
to determine if each source provides

00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:58.469
information relevant to their questions.
In early elementary, this process

00:01:58.469 --> 00:02:03.000
requires adult assistance, and students
gradually identify and gather

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:07.469
information on their own. The inquiry and
research strand focuses on the

00:02:07.469 --> 00:02:12.050
importance of using sources ethically.
Beginning in elementary school and

00:02:12.050 --> 00:02:16.520
continuing through high school, students
will cite sources and develop a works

00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:21.530
cited page or bibliography. Students
conclude the inquiry and research

00:02:21.530 --> 00:02:27.260
processes by delivering their findings
of their research. For more information
