Abstract

In this talk, I’ll discuss what is meant by “big tent” inquiry-based learning (IBL) via the four pillars of IBL and share a core (historical) example as a starting point. I’ll share some background information, research related to inquiry-based learning in North America and efforts in teaching professional development, and lastly “riffs” off of the core example that have been applied in large class settings. This talk is focused on the historical roots and broader themes in inquiry-based learning in undergraduate math education.
