q1- Take a position for or against the following controversial statement. In their Educational Psychologist article,“Why Minimal Guidance During Instruction Does Not Work: An Analysis of the Failure of Constructivist, Discovery, Problem-Based, Experiential, and Inquiry-Based Teaching,” Kirschner, Sweller, and Clark (2006) say that inquiry-based methods are a “failed approach” (p. 84) and that, to achieve best results, all instruction should be highly structured and systematically delivered. What evidence in the book or practice can you cite to support or refute their position?

q2- Take a position for or against (based either on your own position) on the following controversial statement. Discuss it in this forum. Some schools, such as those with a college preparatory focus, do not allow the use of instructional games of any kind, even software with a practice or simulation purpose. Meanwhile, some game proponents are saying that education should be using more games to tap into students’ natural love of these formats. Is there a compelling case to be made for allowing the use of instructional game software to achieve specific educational goals? That is, can games do something in an instructional situation that no other strategy is able to do? If so, what?
