Authentic Learning in the Digital Age: Engaging Students Through Inquiry


Pahomov outlines a framework for learning structured around five core values: inquiry, research, collaboration, presentation, and reflection. 
For each value, she presents:
A detailed description of how the value can transform classroom practice and how a "digital connection" can enhance its application.
A step-by-step outline for how to implement the value, with examples from teachers in all subject areas.
Solutions to possible challenges and roadblocks that teachers may experience.
Suggestions for how to expand the value beyond the classroom to schoolwide practice.
Anecdotes from students, offering their perspectives on how they experienced the value in the classroom and after graduation.
The framework is a guide, not a prescription, and middle and high school teachers—individually or as a team—can use it to structure whatever content and skills their current school or district requires.
