Inquiry-Based Learning

What is inquiry-based learning?

•…a process where students are involved in their learning, formulate questions, investigate widely and then build new understandings, meanings and knowledge. That knowledge is new to the students and may be used to answer a question, to develop a solution, or to support a position or point of view. The knowledge is usually presented to others and may result in some sort of action. (Focus on Inquiry, p. 1)
