Inquiry-based Learning: Explanation
-
An old adage states: "Tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me
and I understand." -
Effective inquiry is more than just asking questions. A complex process is
involved when individuals attempt to convert information and data into useful
knowledge. Useful application of inquiry learning involves several factors: a
context for questions, a framework for questions, a focus for questions, and
different levels of questions. Well-designed inquiry learning produces knowledge
formation that can be widely applied. - 4 more annotations...

Inquiry-based learning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
-
The teacher's job in an inquiry learning environment is therefore not to provide
knowledge, but instead to help students along the process of discovering
knowledge themselves. In this form of instruction, it is proposed that teachers
should be viewed as facilitators of learning rather than vessels of knowledge.
Even though this form of instruction has gained great popularity of the past
decade, there is plenty of debate about the effectiveness of this form of
instruction. -
Inquiry learning is a form of active learning, where progress is assessed by
how well students develop experimental and analytical skills rather than how
much knowledge they possess.
