Intentional Teaching for Visual Arts in Early Childhood

Assignment Task

Introduction

Assignment two of Teacher as Inquirer 1/Te Kaimahira 1 continues with the fourth stage, the professional learning phase of Timperley, Kaser and Halbert's (2014) Inquiry Spiral model. This assignment consists of two tasks:

Preparation

Before starting the literature search, refer to your inquiry question which was decided on in the inquiry plan (AS1 Task B). Your inquiry question which links to teaching inquiry, intentional teaching, and sociocultural practice in early childhood education will guide your literature search. Undertake a search of recent literature (from the last 10 years) using, for example EBSCOhost, Taylor & Francis, ERIC data bases and appraise eight (8) sources of literature (including peer-reviewed articles, empirical literature, and reviews and/or reports) that link to your inquiry question.

Task

A: Online contributions

Discuss your literature sources and make links with your inquiry question at least once in the weekly class forum from weeks.

B: Literature review

Literature review: Refer to the eight (8) sources of literature that link to your inquiry question and use the following format to structure your literature review:

Introduction: Write a brief introduction that states your inquiry question and briefly state the themes as they relate to teaching inquiry, intentional teaching, and sociocultural practice in early childhood education.

Main body

Draw on similarities and differences across the literature sources and synthesise them into three key themes. Within the three themes outline the different points that the authors make in their articles. Try and summarise the overall themes rather than identifying every similarity and difference in the articles. Relate the literature to your inquiry question and summarise what the literature suggests in relation to your question.

Conclusion

The purpose of the conclusion is to summarise your new and deeper professional learning. You will do this by making connections between your inquiry question and the themes from the literature in relation to teaching inquiry, intentional teaching, and sociocultural practice.
