When it comes to Inquiry based learning I believe it is a process that is essential for a well taught lesson. Inquiry based learning main focus is to engage students so that they get an understanding of the lesson. In the readings they define inquiry as searching for facts, knowledge or information by asking questions. This type of learning entails students to have a quest for answer to questions as well as interaction with the classroom expanding the students mind. Once the students start inquiring they are already in tone with the topic or subject, making them curious as to what they are learning .When interaction is being made in the classroom along the students this opens there minds as to what other classmate point of view is so they can compare. As a teacher when taking this type of learning approach you first start by making a situation for students so that calls for answers to questions they might have. This causes a chain reaction which involves students to work together in search of the answers. This is a good method so that students are Igor to solve the situation, making them more ready for future scenarios. In all the teacher opens the doors by exposing them to a challenge in seek of answers to the situation. In addition, Inquiry based learning is a method of learning in which allows students to develop questions. For example, students might ask questions like show me or tell me so that they can remember and relate to the situation this have been given. This inquiry entails participation which leads to understanding. In result, of the students participating they develop possessing skills allowing them to search for resolutions to questions they might have while obtaining new knowledge. Questions leads to the urge of wanting to learn what is being taught in the classroom. This benefits of this form of inquiry based learning is that students will be able to observe, analyze and collect data to construct a conclusion by using there problem solving skills. This allows the teacher to see how well the students are learning about the topic as a classroom as well as an individual student. There are many types of learning methods but over all this form of learning offers developmental habits of the mind that can last forever in a child; guiding them through the learning experience and using creative thinking. I personality like this method of learning and it is one that I would definitely incorporate in my classroom in the near future as an educator.
