Abstract:

The International Baccalaureate (IB) introduced the Approaches to Teaching (ATT) and Approaches to Learning (ATL) to define classroom instruction. These Approaches cover highly relevant range of skills that help teaching learning be more fulfilling and support academic knowledge. In this paper, I argue that by using the Concept Based Inquiry (CBI) framework, these skills are planned for intentionally. This planning leads to deeper engagement by students- resulting in transfer of these conceptual understandings to new situations (beyond the specific unit of inquiry). The paper uses examples from the classroom planning which utilises CBI framework to show how a skill can be planned for. This goes beyond the usual practice of skills 'just being taught/demonstrated' and informs students of the deeper underlying principles of these skills.
