As soon as Page 25.55.13the mind map was finished, the group turned to a discussion of possible solutions. Thepremise of this exercise is that a problem well-defined is half solved.Clearly, this tool can be used in a variety of situations.

And because inquiry instruction calls uponteachers to adopt the view that “the class is the arena for…exploration of students’ participation,knowledge, and reason” (Hammer, 2005; p. 503), it fosters an educational environment in whichstudent reasoning can be laid bare through debate, discussion, and collective exploration.Creating such a learning community within the classroom is important, because as Beatty et al(2006) have observed, “Telling students what to think is notoriously ineffective; eliciting theirthinking, confronting it with alternatives, and seeking resolution works better.”The focus of this paper will lean more toward the inquiry instruction

Their findings suggest that retention programs should focus onacademic achievement.

Listening indesign for technology may be constrained. For instance, in one of our research interviews, aformer graduate student and current faculty member stated that his undergraduate educationand early industry experience taught him that, in design contexts, he needed to “listen to thespec.” By that, he meant that he needed to listen to the specifications that were implicit orexplicit in the client’s explanation of the problem and desired solution.
