Episode Synopsis

In this special long-form episode of Educate to Self-Regulate: Deep Dive, I sit down with world-renowned inquiry educator Kath Murdoch for a rich and thoughtful conversation about how inquiry approaches can support students' self-regulated learning.Together, we unpack what it means to take an inquiry stance—not just investigating topics, but guiding students to inquire into themselves as learners. We also explore the distinctions (and overlaps) between direct, explicit, and inquiry instruction, and why effective teaching depends on a responsive, flexible repertoire, not any single method.In this episode, you’ll learn:✔️ How inquiry-based practices naturally strengthen metacognition and self-regulated learning✔️ Why the “inquiry stance” is foundational for building genuine student agency✔️ How to strategically blend explicit teaching with inquiry to meet diverse learner needsKath brings more than 40 years of experience across classrooms, universities, and consultancy—along with her signature clarity, warmth, and wisdom. If you’re an educator curious about the intersection of inquiry and self-regulated learning, this episode will genuinely nourish your thinking.Listen now and discover how inquiry and SRL work together to build the “how to learn” capabilities young people need—especially in an age shaped by AI.Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Watch the full episode on YouTubeConnect with Kath on LinkedIn: Kath Murdoch website: kathmurdoch.com.au Remember to subscribe to Educate to Self-Regulate to receive updates on future episodes.
