INQUIRY

Inquiry is finding out some information about something. This means trying to know more about that thing. I believe when students use inquiry-based learning they get to pull information out themselves. There is usually a chance to use prior knowledge and students get involved / engaged. Also there is a feeling of ownership as they get to open the treasures of knowledge.

My experience with inquiry-based education has been limited to my personal knowledge and ideas about it. I have not had any formal training or professional development in that area.

I intend to use the knowledge and experience I get from this institute in my class room to further enhance my students' learning. My students will get the opportunity to show what they have {prior knowledge} and will find out more with my guidance. They will be involved and engaged and most likely will be able to claim ownership of their own learning experiences.
