Abstract

Two teachers and 49 students aged 5 to 8 completed an inquiry-based project formulated around Neuman's I-LEARN model, a learning model that builds on and expands traditional information-seeking models specifically to address the processes and outcomes of learning with information. The study's results indicated that the model is a useful tool for helping young urban children understand and complete research projects.
