Designing and facilitating ways to advance IBL in a real analysis classroom

Inquiry-based learning (IBL) is regarded as an effective way to foster reasoning and critical thinking. In this presentation I will discuss design and implementation of tasks for inquiry-based learning in an introductory real analysis course. Instruction in the course was mainly given by an inquiry approach, in which students were asked to make and justify conjectures and to evaluate arguments.

The inquiry-based tasks started with individual exploration, later small-group discussion (and sometimes exchanging group members), and finally whole-class discussion. I will address issues in designing tasks and instructional interventions, and report how a teacher managed classroom norms for fruitful inquiry.
