Building Lasting Relationships: Inquiry-Oriented Instructional Measure Practices
Page: 1306
This study examines the relationships between instructional practices in the Inquiry-Oriented Instructional Measure (IOIM). The IOIM consists of seven practices developed from four guiding principles of Inquiry-Oriented (IO) instruction: generating student ways of reasoning, building on student contributions, developing a shared understanding, and connecting to standard mathematical language and notation. A 2-tailed correlation test was applied to IOIM scores from 36 instructors and found six of the practices had strong positive correlations to each other and the seventh had a moderate positive correlation. Cronbach alpha was calculated indicating the IOIM is an internally consistent measure.
