Section outline

  • Learning Intentions:
    • To investigate the meaning of Social Enterprise
    • To identify the outcomes we want from the course
    • To develop curiosity and to generate different types of question 

    Success Criteria:
    • We can describe what's meant by 'social enterprise' and can give local examples.
    • We can match questions to the 'Question Quadrant' and can use this to identify what we want to learn in 9ENT3

    In your small group, 
    - decide what is meant by a 'Social Enterprise'.
    - find examples of other social enterprises.
    - read the article below (or listen to the radio interview) and discuss what skills and attributes the people who started Share a Pair demonstrate.
    - Look at the examples of Auckland social enterprises (link below) and discuss in your group which ones you most admire or like.

    Generating Questions
    Students who have left MHJC, say that it's important to know how to ask questions in order to get the help they need and to guide their research.
    We're learning to use the 'Question Quadrant' to generate different types of question from news articles.

    Look at the picture of Pooh & Piglet. Generate questions and write them on post-it notes. 

    Here's an example of the Question Quadrant (and an example using a picture of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet!)

    .              


    Comprehension questions have their answer in the story, photo, video
    Research questions have their answer in wider research eg on the internet
    Speculation questions can be answered by using our imagination about what might be (related to the text, photo, video).
    Inquiry (philosophical) questions can be answered through ethics, logic, metaphysics, epistemology, aesthetics. 
       Ethics - should people be allowed to buy and sell anything? 
       Logic - If people act in their own interest, will they ever donate to charity? 
       Metaphysics - how do people know what something is worth? 
       Epistomology - how do you know something?
