WHAT IS INQUIRY-BASED
LEARNING
Inquiry-based learning (IBL) is a
pedagogy which best enables
students to experience the
processes of knowledge creation
and the key attributes are
learning stimulated by inquiry, a
student-centered approach, a
move to self-directed learning,
and an active approach to
learning.

WHAT IS INQUIRY-BASED
LEARNING
Inquiry-based learning is
an approach to teaching
and learning that places
students’ questions, ideas
and observations at the
centre of the learning

WHY INQUIRY-BASED?
“If we are only teaching what we
know, our children can only do as
bad as we are doing, and this is the
challenge we are facing – we have
to go beyond it.”

IMPORTANCE OF INQUIRY – BASED LEARNING IN
TEACHING

• Develop useful problem solving skill

• Prepare learners to live in a world that
is non - static
• Enable learners to cope with changes
that will increase in complexity
throughout their lives
• Provides learners tools for continuing
to learn
• Attain important outcomes in the

 LEVELS OF INQUIRY

Limited/Confirmation inquiry is useful

when a teacher’s goal is to reinforce a
previously introduced idea; to introduce
students to the experience of conducting
investigations; or to have students
practice a specific inquiry skill, such as
collecting and recording data.
DEPAR TMENT OF EDUCATION
 LEVELS OF INQUIRY

Structured inquiry, the question

and procedure are still provided by
the teacher; however, students
generate an explanation supported
by the evidence they have
collected.
DEPAR TMENT OF EDUCATION
 LEVELS OF INQUIRY

Guided inquiry, the teacher provides

students with only the research
question, and students design the
procedure (method) to test their
question and the resulting
explanations.
DEPAR TMENT OF EDUCATION
 LEVELS OF INQUIRY

Highest level of inquiry, Open inquiry, students

have the purest opportunities to act like
scientists, deriving questions, designing and
carrying out investigations, and communicating
their results. This level requires the most
scientific reasoning and greatest cognitive
demand from students.

 5E Learning Model vs 7E Learning Model

Sometimes a current model must be amended

to maintain its value after new information,
insights, and knowledge have been gathered.
Such is now the case with the highly successful
5E learning cycle and instructional model.
