The Use of Community of inquiry (Coi) in Commercial Cooking to Enhance Moral Responsibility in Grade 7 - Mabait Students of Dagatan National High School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Community of Inquiry fosters students' critical and creative thinking skills as well as trains students to work together with each other with respect through better communication.

METHODS

Session 1 of the Community of Inquiry introduced the question quadrant where it showed the capacity of students to construct questions. Majority of the questions were open questions. It was also evident that they can engage in the philosophical discussion and talk about their points of view in a positive manner.

RESULTS

It was noted that the students were not yet as keen to recognize the nuances of making their meaning clearer and understood. The facilitator should intervene and ask probing questions for their answers to be directed to the creation of a related but new problem and an improved resolution.

DISCUSSIONS

Teachers should have the program of activities and be trained in facilitating the Community of Inquiry inside the classroom to gain confidence in leading the CoI to change the attitude towards education from education as learning to education as thinking.
