Stepping up Standards at the Tertiary Level through Kath Murdoch's Inquiry Cycle

EasyChair Preprint no. 1921

Abstract

This paper explores the possibility and effectiveness of applying Kath Murdoch’s Inquiry Cycle to the Taught Curriculum at the tertiary level.
The inquiry-based learning has been happening in IB schools and universities abroad, but is not rampant in the Indian scenario. Hence the same is experimented with the paper 'Interpersonal Skills: Listening and Speaking' for II and III year engineering students of  University at Saveetha Engineering College. It is found to take care of the aptitude of the individual learners and is effective in making them think on their feet and quest for new learning as well. Applying this flexible framework, which amply caters to the needs and intelligences of the students, education seems to have become more effective.
Experimentation done at the classroom by the teacher has invariably proved the utility of this method and establishes the need to have a switch over in teaching methodology to cater to the millennial generation of students.
