Inquiry Based Learning

Within inquiry-based learning, the teacher creates situations in which students take the role of scientists or mathematicians…Inquiry-based learning goes beyond memorization of facts to promoting new ways of thinking, emphasizing the development of questioning and problem-solving skills and the nurturing of inquiring attitudes or habits of mind that will enable individuals to continue the quest for knowledge throughout life.[1]
