Learning Task 1

A learning process that engages students by making real-world

connections through exploration and high-level questioning about the strategy
in teaching and learning. The best way to start an inquiry-based lesson is by
asking a question. This will get students thinking about the topic and will
encourage them to ask their own questions. These methods can assist
teachers in determining whether their learners understood the lesson and if
they successfully connected to or adapted it to their personal lives. There are
some strategies are usually used, in the teaching and learning process
examples of these are Inquiry-based teaching strategy, Case study, Jigsaw,
Technology-based interactive teaching strategy, Role play and simulation,
Field study, and Service learning. However, a teaching strategy that is inquiry-
based is the most effective to use among these, especially when teaching
social studies. Personally, I believe inquiry-based learning is the most
effective method for teaching social studies. The learner may enhance their
curiosity and learning potential through inquiry, as well as both which help the
student improve critical thinking. Through inquiry-based learning, students are
able to develop a variety of applicable abilities, many of which are associated
with innovation and self-management. Examining the inquiry process's steps
makes this clear. Learners have the ability to study, discuss, collaborate, form
their own findings, and ask questions. Self-guided inquiry and analysis
integrate this development, even though each of these abilities can be
developed independently through various activities. These abilities will come
in beneficial not only as pupils advance academically but also as they begin
post-secondary education and beyond.
There must be at least one alternative to determine which is the best
approach. In my view, the interactive teaching method based on technology is
frequently inefficient for the teaching and learning process. Despite the fact
that technology is now incredibly advanced and generally accessible, there
are still some locations, especially in remote areas, where it is rare and
educational resources are very limited. Most young children in public school
may not have access to gadgets they can utilize for technologically oriented
exercises. It happens partly because there aren't enough resources available
at the facility or school for implementing this kind of strategy. This is partly
because there aren't enough resources available at the facility or schools to
implement this kind of approach. In addition, some TBL has been marked by
significant learner attrition rates. Course organizers must be mindful of making
the proper modifications to encourage access for students who have
disabilities as they deal with issues connected to technical incompatibility and
confront their own set of difficulties. Lastly, TBL still has a poor reputation.
Employers and academicians may be less reluctant to recruit someone with a
TBL credential unless it is issued by an approved university since they
perceive TBL instruction as less authentic than conventional face-to-face
instruction
