What is Inquiry Learning?

“Inquiry based learning describes a range of philosophical, curricular, and pedagogical approaches to teaching. Its core premises include the requirement that learning should be based around student’s questions. Pedagogy and curriculum requires students to work together to solve problems rather than receiving direct instruction from the

teacher.” Stephanie Harvey and Harvey Daniels authors of Comprehension & Collaboration:

Inquiry Circles in Action

What is Inquiry Learning?“The teacher’s job in an inquiry learning environment is therefore not to provide knowledge, but instead to help students along the process of discovering knowledge themselves. In this form of instruction, it is proposed that teachers should be viewed as facilitators of learning rather than vessels of knowledge.” Stephanie Harvey and Harvey Daniels authors of Comprehension & Collaboration: Inquiry Circles in Action
