Mr. / Girgis




Definition:


 Inquiry" is defined as "a seeking for truth, information,

 or knowledge -- seeking information by questioning."

Individuals carry on the process of inquiry from the

time they are born until they die.  Infants begin to

make sense of the world by inquiring.



 From birth, babies observe faces that come near,

they grasp objects, they put things in their mouths,

and they turn toward voices. The process of inquiring

begins with gathering information and data through

applying the human senses -- seeing, hearing,

touching, tasting, and smelling.

 


 

  Inquiry based learning is mainly involving the learner

and leading him to understand. Inquiry here implies on

the possessing skills and attitude of yours, which allows

 you to ask questions about new resolutions and issues

while you are gaining new information.



Inquiry-based learning (also inquiry-based learning

in British English) is a form of active learning that starts

 by posing questions, problems or scenarios. It

contrasts with traditional education, which generally

 relies on the teacher presenting facts and his or her

knowledge about the subject.

 



What is an example of inquiry based

learning?


For example, a math teacher can see how

students work through problem-solving during

inquiry lessons. Teachers in math may demonstrate

 how to solve problems, but by watching students

come up with solutions, they're able to get a better

understanding of the steps it took to get there


Inquiry-based learning is an approach to learning that


emphasizes the student’s role in the learning


process.


Rather than the teacher telling students what they


need to know, students are encouraged to explore


 the material, ask questions, and share ideas.


Inquiry-based learning uses different approaches to


learning, including small-group discussion and


 guided learning.


Instead of memorizing facts and material, students


learn by doing. This allows them to build knowledge


through exploration, experience, and discussion.

 



Aims :


The aim of inquiry-based learning is to emphasize

learning as a lifelong process  which transforms the

teacher from a provider of information to a facilitator,

or coach . This facilitator,or coach, then, guides

students on a lifelong quest to learn about learning.



A Context for Inquiry


Unfortunately, our traditional educational system has

 worked in a way that discourages the natural process

 of inquiry. Students become less prone to ask

questions as they move through the grade levels. In

traditional schools, students learn not to ask too many

 questions, instead to listen and repeat the expected

answers.



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.

 



A Comparison:


Inquiry and problem-based learning are very similar

 to project-based learning. in that they also raise

questions that require answers. Project based

learning connects learning to the task .



The new English curriculum views learners as active

participants in the process of learning who construct

meaning from a variety of "resources (traditional,

electronic or digital) used for language learning and

teaching purposes including coursebooks,

newspapers, recordings and video.



The curriculum planners recommend implementing


technology and the Internet in instruction, learning,


student presentation and for alternative assessment


to facilitate learning and offer students opportunities


 to practice inquiry, problem, and performance project-


based learning tasks .

 



Importance of Inquiry


Memorizing facts and information is not the most important


skill in today's world. Facts change, and information is readily


available. what's needed is an understanding of how to get


and make sense of the data.



Educators must understand that schools need to go beyond data


and information accumulation and move toward the generation of


useful and applicable knowledge . . . a process supported by


inquiry learning.


In the past, our country's success depended on our supply of natural


resources. Today, it depends upon a workforce that "works smarter."





Benefits Of Inquiry-


Now that you know more about this learning approach, let’s


take a look at the advantages and benefits of inquiry-based


learning


Enhances learning experiences for children. Sitting in a

classroom taking notes isn’t always the most effective

(or fun) way to learn.


Rather than memorizing facts from the teacher, inquiry-based

learning enhances the learning process by letting students explore

topics themselves. Teaches skills needed for all areas of learning.


As they explore a topic, students build critical thinking and

communication skills. The cognitive skills that students

develop can be used to improve comprehension in every

 subject, as well as in day-to-day life.

Other Benefits Of Inquiry-



Fosters curiosity in students

An inquiry-based learning approach lets students share

 their own ideas and questions about a topic. This helps

 foster more curiosity about the material and teaches

skills students can use to continue exploring topics  they

 are interested in.


Deepens students’ understanding of topics rather than

simply memorizing facts, students make their own

connections about what they are learning. This allows

them to gain a better understanding of a topic than they

 would get by just memorizing and recalling facts.

Allows students to take ownership of their learning.

Students have the opportunity to explore a topic, giving

them more of a sense of ownership over their learning.

 Instead of the teacher telling them what they should

know, students are able to learn in a way that works for

 them.


Increases engagement with the material. As a form of

active learning, this approach encourages students to

fully engage in the learning process. By allowing

students to explore topics, make their own connections,

 and ask questions, they are able to learn more

effectively.


Creates a love of learning


Inquiry-based learning is designed to teach students a


love of learning. When students are able to engage with


the material in their own way, not only are they able to


gain a deeper understanding—they are able to develop


 a passion for exploration and learning.

 



Main Elements:


1-The patterns should not be deceptive to the beginners,


2-The useful knowledge about a field should be structured.


3-The knowledge which is structured should be applicable,


transferable, and accessible to a vast range of situations,


4-The structured knowledge should be easily retrieved so that new


information in that particular field could be gained without effort.





For Learners:


Through the process of inquiry, individuals construct

much of their understanding of the natural and

human-designed worlds. Inquiry implies a "need or

want to know" premise. Inquiry is not so much

seeking the right answer -- because often there is

none -- but rather seeking appropriate resolutions to

questions and issues.



For Teachers:


For educators, inquiry implies emphasis on the

development of inquiry skills and the nurturing of

inquiring attitudes or habits of mind that will enable

individuals to continue the quest for knowledge

throughout life.
