I have gone through and coded each of my posts as falling into each of the categories of cognitive inquiry: triggering event, exploration, integration, and resolution. I definitely found that fewer posts fell into the resolution phase. Lots of posts made it through to the integration phase. However, the integration posts did make it through to resolution and made me think how to get through to that final phase.
I don’t know I would do anything differently in terms of the phases. It makes sense that at the beginning of the course when new principles are being introduced or strategies are discussed that we as learners will be in the triggering or exploration phases and then move to integration later in the course and resolution closer to the end.
I already work to ask open ended questions to get my students to move through the phases and try to get them to integrate their thinking and move to a resolution with me just guiding. However, even putting more thought into changing my intro to the course may trigger something or get students to explore something they wouldn’t otherwise and you can’t get through all the phases unless you start at the beginning and get students to start thinking.
I do think that having a platform like WordPress helps with both reflecting on your own learning and the learning of others.
