Study Notes

Nature of Inquiry-Based Learning

  • Inquiry is a process of asking questions.
  • In the classroom, inquiry is a basic learning activity that every teacher is expected to facilitate.
  • Inquiry-based learning involves tasks requiring learners' active participation in finding answers to curricular questions.
  • Questions can range from simple to complex, related to the curriculum.

Inquiry-Based Learning in Language Teaching

  • Develops communication skills such as:
    • Writing questions
    • Deliberating ways of finding answers
    • Presenting outputs as evidence of inquiry

Types of Inquiry

  • Structured Inquiry: Students follow the lead of the teacher as the entire class engages in one inquiry together.
  • Controlled Inquiry: The teacher chooses topics and identifies the resources that students will use to answer questions.
  • Guided Inquiry: The teacher chooses topics or questions and students design the product or solution.
  • Free Inquiry: Students are allowed to choose their own topics without any reference to a prescribed outcome.

Role of the Teacher in Inquiry-Based Learning

  • Careful planning is required.
  • The teacher must consider learning competencies.
  • The teacher controls and prepares the topic for investigation.
  • The teacher guides learners by setting the questions to be explored.

Designing an Inquiry-Based Learning Experience

  • The teacher must consider the following fields:
    • Prior knowledge and capacity of learners
    • Context: Learners require meaning from experience.
    • Content and learning materials
    • Process
    • Strategy of reactions and behavior
    • Course outcomes
