XII. Teaching – Four Phases of the 2E-2A Instructional Model of Inquiry Approach
Learning 1. Engage or Input Phase through lectures or reading assignment reports, interview, survey and
Approaches presentation segments with embedded interactive experiences such as sharing, question and answer
sessions on authoritative and research-based declarative and functional knowledge
2. Explore through socialized discussions to elaborate on and extend the content of the lectures and/or
readings; thereby developing conceptual ideas and applying them to actual situations in the respective
work place. Various discussion techniques will be utilized in class sessions. For these techniques, you,
the students must do the following:
2.1. Attend every class. Arrive on time.
2.2.Prepare for every class so that you can appreciate and contribute to the discussion. Adequate
preparation requires more than simply reading the assigned material. Rather you should analyse all
important issues, take a position on them, and be prepared to defend your position.
2.3. Participate in every class session. You are responsible for making sure that you do. Participation can
take many forms, like making a comment, questioning or synthesizing what has been said, or if one
makes a point you disagree with, don’t let it go unchallenged.
3. Apply the processed inputs through research literature analysis, case analyses papers which may be a
team or/an individual paper assignments. Each paper will be a minimum of three pages in length
excluding list of the references used. Through these papers you will have an opportunity to demonstrate
your ability to understand and work analytically with the kinds of materials and issues discussed in the
 class. These are formal academic papers which will be graded (25 points) and so they should follow the
standard form for academic work. (APA style)
4. Assess output quality through:
4.1. Multi-media presentations integrating varying formats such as lecture, text, graphics, audio, video,
projection devices, Web resources and interactive devices to increase motivation, alertness and
improve the quality of student performance.
4.2. Reflective journal writing will be done after each lesson to note down personal reactions, questions
and /or comments on the lesson. Journals are to be revised and compiled as part of the terminal paper
in the course.
