Inquiry based learning

Inquiry based learning is:
  • Involvement that Leads to Understanding
  • Inquiry learning involves students actively investigating topics by posing essential questions and exploring answers.
  •  This is a collaborative process where teachers and students work together, negotiating aspects of the curriculum. Students examine the complexity of the world by forming concepts and making generalizations, rather than being told.
  •  We believe that students are powerful learners who must be engaged and actively involved in the learning process of investigation, processing, organising,synthesising, refining and extending their knowledge within a topic.
  •  Inquiry implies a “need to know’ premise. It is a process of acquiring skills and the nurturing of inquiring attitudes and habits of mind that will enable individuals to continue the quest for knowledge throughout life.

“Tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me and I understand.”
