THE INVESTIGATIVE APPROACH
- Is a method of learning and teaching that gives students opportunities to direct their own learning as they explore the underlying realistically complex situation. This approach is child centered or student centered, and it embraces active learning and problem-solving.
The teacher’s role in the Investigative Approach
- The teacher acts as a facilitator through adopting a questioning style. - Provide pupils with the opportunity to develop these learning skills such as tools to tackle difficulties, the confidence to be more independent and to engage opportunities for making choices, decisions and providing explanation. - Teachers make sure the children or students will be able to build their strategies and to consolidate them sufficiently to transfer them to new and different situations. The role of learners in The Investigative Approach - Talk to one another, discussing and sharing ideas and working as a team rather than individually. - More collaborative processes with the teacher help the students to acquire some knowledge, skills, and concepts. - Investigative learning concerns itself with the process by which learning takes place.
The theory that supports the investigative approach is experiential learning
theory because this theory is the process of learning by doing by engaging students in hands-on experience and reflection, they are able to connect theories and knowledge learn in the classroom to real-world situation. Children learn by using their senses to investigate the world around them. Through investigation children learn how things work, what things do, and why things happen. Do you think mathematics can be taught using investigative approach because investigative approach to teaching mathematics encourages students to investigate real-world problems through hands-on activities rather than rote memorization of facts, formulas, and procedures. Students have a higher conceptual knowledge of relationships between mathematical ideas when they discover mathematical ideas and design mathematical methods. This approach also generates an “environment of interest” in the classroom and gives students more possibilities to investigate. Students develop the ability to apply information to new contexts and it engages students in a more reflective style of learning, thinking through problems rather than rote spouting. Overall, the investigative approach is very useful un teaching mathematics concept particularly with its goal of instilling in students a positive attitude towards mathematics and ability to conduct mathematical inquiry as well as promoting mathematics as a way of thinking.
