THINKING STUDENT: ACTIVE INQUIRY AND CRITICAL

THINKING PRACTICES

Regarding to the first four specific media literacy competencies —

access, analysis and evaluation, creation and reflection — Casey

and Bruce suggest applying the Inquiry Cycle (ask-investigate-

create-discuss-reflect-ask again) in formal media and digital literacy

teaching and learning.

“Teachers should complete all aspects of the cycle by students to

ask stimulating questions, promoting reflection and guiding

inclusive discussion. Digital tools may be regarded as extending the

capacity of the teacher to guide the Inquiry Cycle. Pupils see the

same tools as objects of experience — they take pictures and

make recordings as a means of acting on the world.”
