Teaching Approaches/Inquiry: Difference between revisions

{{adaptedfrom|The impact of enquiry-based science teaching on students' attitudes and achievement|WhatIsEnquiry|In the model of enquiry-based learning used by the researchers, students used exploration, reflection and questioning techniques, shared ideas and engaged in dialogue. The role of the teacher during the process was to act as a guide who challenged the students to think beyond their current processes by asking divergent questions. The model drew on research into enquiry-based learning that shows that often students experience difficulties in formulating appropriate questions which focus on the intended content. In this context the teacher needs to help them by drawing their attention to the experimental data and facts relevant to their enquiry and by generally facilitating the discussion.
