We have adopted and adapted the model of inquiry by Kuhlthau and Brown. It is a combination of two models namely, the Guided Inquiry Model and Design Thinking. Our school leaders, the Head of School and the Dean of Faculty (at the time of adoption) are champions of both models. They have experience in using them in teaching and learning. Technology transfer was strategic and faculty appreciated theintegration of the model into the IB Inquiry model because it breaks down into specific terms and applications what Reflection and Action can look like. Furthermore, both models take into account creativity hand in hand with critical thinking and the socio-emotional aspects of learning.
Here are the 8 Verbs of the Model

In time, our school community was able to develop an internal Research Design Cycle model retaining the philosophical moorings of the Guided Inquiry and Design Thinking into the RDC model adhering to the IB Inquiry model as well. When we designed the RDC, we were also mindful of the Design Cycle in the MYP. Many of our students moving to DP completed the MYP where they recognize and use the Design Cycle in Arts and Design subjects.
