What are Inquiry and Research?
Inquiry and Research are two terms
that are almost the same in meaning.
Both involve investigative work in which
you seek information about something
by searching or examining the object of
your search.
Inquiry-based Learning
Inquiry is a learning process that
motivates you to obtain knowledge or
information about people, things, places, or
events.
Inquiry as thinking power.
Inquiry is a problem-solving technique.
Governing Principles or
Foundation of Inquiry
John Dewey's theory of connected experiences
for exploratory and reflective thinking;
Lev Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development
(ZPD)
Jerome Bruner's theory on learners' varied
world perceptions for their own interpretative
thinking of people and things around them.
