Initial Engagement
The
initial engagement is the first stage in the Inquiry Process. In this stage the
focus is on the inspiration of the forthcoming project. The questions “why did
this happen” or “how can we make that happen again” are often asked. In this
example the teacher while completing a water colour lesson sparked the
children’s curiosity of clean water. The children after seeing the water being
poured into the sink asked the questions “But where does the water go?” and “How does the water get clean
and come back out of the tap?”. The children’s curiosity was encouraged when
the teacher brought in a variety of materials for the children to explore.
