Abstract

This research explores the metacognitive and discursive processes by which a grade 5 community formulated shared deepening goals to direct its inquiry about the human body across a whole school year. This inquiry was facilitated by Idea Thread Mapper (ITM) that supported the community’s metacognitive reflection and conversations. Qualitative analysis of classroom activities elaborated the evolution of collective goals of understanding, which were used by students to monitor the community’s progress, and regulate further inquiry. Analyses of pre- and post-tests and online discourse showed productive improvement of idea achieved by individuals and the community as a whole.
