This inquiry project has led me to explore a new teaching style vastly different from the traditional lecturing style I grew up with. I have read the primary book, which popularizes the Thinking Classroom with math teachers all across the globe and learned about all the intricacies of the teaching styles. By visiting Takuya at Eric Hamber, I could see the thinking classroom in action, and it fits my imagination of how a thinking classroom should look based on my reading from the book. This question has led me to replicate it in my extended practicum, play around with this teaching style, and see if it fits me. There are currently no formal studies critically exploring the practicality of the thinking classroom, unlike the flipped classroom. From hearing the issues current teachers implementing the thinking classrooms face, the benefits I have listened to and believe to be the case outweigh the negatives. While I am unsure what the inquiry two project is, my passion for this teaching style is enough to carry on and explore more of it in the next project.
