LEARNING PAPER IN DISCOVERY APPROACH AND INQUIRY-


BASED APPROACH

The Discovery approach and the Inquiry-based approach share common


features.They are both student-centered approaches that necessitate the active
engagement and involvement of students in the teaching and learning process.
Students learned best via inquiry, manipulation, exploration, and knowledge
gathering through different activities in which they are actively involved. They are
the ones who constructively process their own knowledge through activities. The
function of the teacher is simply to facilitate the learning process. In this
approach, the teacher is not a "sage on a stage," but rather "as a guide on the
side." Therefore, learners are responsible for their own learning.

As we delve deeper, Discovery Approach is the process of discovering


concepts using a sequence of data or information gained via observation or
experimentation. Students may learn new concepts beyond goals incidentally or
unintentionally as they actively involved in the activities. Whereas, Inquiry-based
Approach is a self directed learning method that process of answering questions
and solving real life issues and problems using facts and observations.

Moreover, the two approaches promote a lifelong learning towards the


learners. As a teacher, we must provide questions, activities or problems in real
life situation or scenario. For them to relate, explore and develop a solution
strategy to solve the given problem. The skills that they have learned may be
useful in dealing day-to-day problems. With this, they attain or achieve the
authentic learning.
