Second Reflection



1. Take some time to think about your topic. Now write down what you know about it.
More research and reading made me to think differently than before when I went through my second reflection about Information inquiry. The nature of Information inquiry depends on the complexity of the task, cognitive needs and the educational contexts. It also introduced a broader concept of information seeking process where it defines information Literacy as the ability to familiarize “complex contextualized practices, processes and interactions that enable access to social, physical and textual sites of knowledge” (Lloyd, 2006). The inquiry also outlined how effective was the present system of information inquiry than the past system.

I was able  to find out more search engines other than Google. 
I also find it easy to find more information by using links.


5. When you find out information about a topic, what do you generally find hard to do? Please list as many things as you like.

.
• I find it hard to select appropriate information from  search results.
I find it hard to construct search terms to a greater extend. 

• I find it hard to match relevant sources of information and information technology with appropriate academic writing paragraphs.

• At some stages, I experienced confusion and stress because of the limited time and this resulted in a complex feeling that I missed something that is important


My search on inquiry based learning resulted in finding out a video that describe the implications of inquiry based learning
