Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) is an educational approach where students actively engage in the learning process by posing questions, exploring resources, and discovering answers. Instead of passively receiving information, learners take a central role in investigating topics, guided by their curiosity and critical thinking.
The process typically involves:
- Asking Questions – Students formulate open-ended questions based on their interests or observations.
- Researching and Exploring – They gather information through investigation and experimentation.
- Drawing Conclusions – Learners synthesize their findings and construct understanding.
- Sharing and Reflecting – They communicate their insights and evaluate their learning journey.
IBL fosters deeper understanding, creativity, and independent problem-solving skills while making learning more personalized and engaging.
