 1NQUIRY RESEARCH
Both involve investigative work in which you seek
information about something by searching or
examining the object you search
- to look for information - to discover truths by
by asking various investigating on your

INQUIRY-BASED
LEARNING
MEANING OF INQUIRY

Inquiry is a learning process that motivates you to obtain

knowledge or information about people, things, places or events.
You do this by asking questions
It requires you to collect data, meaning, facts and information
about the object of your inquiry, and examine such data carefully
FOUNDATION THEORIES OF IBL
John Dewey’s Theory of connected experiences for exploratory
or reflective thinking ;
Lev Vygosky’s Zone of Proximal Development that stresses the
essence of provocation and scaffolding in learning;
Jerome Bruner’s theory on learners’ varied world perceptions
for their own interpretative thinking of people and things around
them
JOHN DEWEY’S THEORY OF CONNECTED EXPERIENCES
FOR EXPLORATORY OR REFLECTIVE THINKING ;

• Dewey argued that education should focus on the

quality of the experience more than it focused on the
information being presented.
• In order to be considered a quality experience, he said
that the experience must have continuity with their past
and future experiences and interaction between the
student's individual perceptions and a lesson
environment. 
• Continuity would propel learners to continue learning

INQUIRY, AS A WAY OF LEARNING, CONCERNS ITSELF
WITH THESE ELEMENTS:

changing knowledge
creativity
subjectivity
socio-cultural factors
sensory experience
higher-order thinking strategies
ADVANTAGES OF INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING
 Elevates interpretative thinking through graphic skills
 Improve student learning abilities
 Widens learners’ vocabulary
 Facilitates problem-solving acts
 Increases social awareness and cultural knowledge
 Encourages cooperative learning
 Provides mastery of procedural knowledge
 Encourages higher-order thinking strategies
 Hasten conceptual understanding
