The document discusses an approach to inquiry learning called personal inquiry that involves investigations directly related to students' interests. It connects learning across classroom and informal settings and takes a participatory design approach involving students, teachers, and researchers. Personal inquiry uses "scripts" to guide the iterative inquiry process and structure learning.
