- Abstract
The problem under investigation is how to nurture the exploratory and constructive behaviors of inquiry. To this end, the research, concepts, and theories of Sugata Mitra, Jacob Getzels, and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi hold promise for developing opportunities for these pursuits. Additionally, research about the negative effects of reward informs school librarians who practice this creativity killer. This article identifies concepts important to constructivist learning to which school library practitioners and educators can refer when promoting learning opportunities for students through the inquiry process. A framework for inquiry utilizing these concepts is presented.
