Describe the history origins of the Inquiry model, including examples of more recent inquiry models
What will be an ideal response?
The Inquiry model is traced back to the scientific method, or scientific inquiry, documented in the Book of Optics in the 11th century by Ibn al-Haytham (a.k.a. Alhazen), known as one of the first scientists. This inquiry process was documented as first defining or posing a problem, forming and testing hypotheses, analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and communicating results ("scientific method flowchart," n.d.). More recent Inquiry models have been developed in the latter half of the 20th century, and include the Biological Science Inquiry model (Schwab, 1963), the Learning Cycle (Karplus, 1977), the Suchman Inquiry Training Model (1962), the BSCS 5E Instructional Model (BSCS, 1989, 2008), and the WebQuest Model (Dodge, 2007).

A researcher selects a sample of 16 women and asks them to rate how important a sense of humor is in someone they want a long-term relationship with. She records scores averaging 1.6 ± 0.8 (M ± SD) on a rating scale from –3 (not important at all) to +3 (very important). Assuming that an average score of 0 is the null hypothesis, test whether or not women find this trait important at a .05 level of significance.
A. Women found this trait to be important, and this result was significant, t(16) = 8.00, p < .05. B. Women found this trait to be important, and this result was significant, t(15) = 8.00, p < .05. C. Women did not find this trait to be important, p > .05. D. There is not enough information to answer this question.
