inquiry-based learning

                                What is inquiry-based learning?

The inquiry word mean seeking for information or facts or problems or knowledge's by asking questions and understanding the answers.

The inquiry process begins first by choosing the real problem and trying to find suitable solutions in every possible way, for example research , reading articles, as well as asking people with extensive knowledge.

The different between the traditional approach and the inquiry approach ?

In my point view that in traditional approach , the teacher became the sources of information and the students is the receiving of this information.

In the inquiry approach is to focus more on the content of the learning and development of information processing and problem solving skills. This approach is to focus on students center learning.

I think, Inquiry classroom depends on motivating students to research and encouraged them to use technology and benefit from all resources provide by inside school and outside school.
