Inquiry and Research may have some things in common but they are totally
different in terms of its objectives. An inquiry is a question, a request for
information, or even a process to obtain a specific answer to your question while
research is an investigation of a certain topics that corresponds with set of
protocols and procedures.
The objective of inquiry is to answer a specific question that could be done
in an informal manner and less complicated than a research while research is an
investigation or a probe that should be done in a formal manner with set of
protocols and methods. Research is explaining or elaborating the answer from your
inquiry with much critical thinking and digging deeper the context. In inquiry, the
answer the you got is just an answer that can stop your confusion, without anything
to prove. While research is finding, experimenting, gathering set of information,
and proving its claim and could be a help for other people because creating a
research should benefit other people after you prove something that can be used in
the future.
In a simpler way, we can say that Inquiry is part of Research but research
isn’t part of an inquiry. Inquiry is simply looking for answers with or without
validations while research needs to prove its claim in a formal and complex way.
