Abstract

This chapter examines a survey administered to preservice elementary teachers who were asked to evaluate an inquiry lesson on refugees. The lesson was designed for upper elementary students and incorporated videos and award-winning children's books. The survey asked the preservice teachers if they thought the unit was worthwhile, appropriate for elementary students, and if it developed young students critical thinking skills. A majority of the preservice teachers thought refugees was a timely global topic that young students should learn about. They thought the inquiry lesson supported and enhanced students' critical thinking skills and knowledge of the topic. They also found the design of the lesson age appropriate. Additionally, many of the preservice teachers made helpful suggestions for improving and enhancing the lesson.
