EDUC 462L: Guided Reflective Inquiry Project (GRIP)
July 23 – August 9 (Tuesday to friday) 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.*
Format: Online – asynchronous and synchronous
*July 23 and August 6 will be from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.
The Guided Reflective Inquiry Project (GRIP) is a project-based and learner-centered project that allows students to extend their acquired knowledge of educational theory and practice by investigating an educational issue or question that develops from course studies, readings, or field experiences. The GRIP provides an opportunity for students to further examine the foundation and structure of their own educational knowledge and beliefs (including their developing personal professional practice), within the larger context of educational theory, research, and best practice. Additionally, the GRIP sets the stage for independent and ongoing professional development, and models education as a profession that demands commitment to research inquiry and to life-long learning.
By completing the GRIP assignment students will:
- Synthesize and construct knowledge
- Reflect upon their personal practice as teachers
- Engage in independent inquiry
- Develop expertise as they learn more about a topic or issue
- Further develop their research skills
- Design and develop presentation materials
- Gain experience in peer presentation
- Enhance their professional portfolio with a record of independent project work.
