The traditional approach of learning has changed significantly, teachers role becomes more as a guider and facilitator whereas students become more involve in education process through asking and investigating. This method will lead the students to gain knowledge more deeply and closely. students may construct the knowledge and becomes more centered in education process.
Today I will talk about new techniques of learning which is called : Inquiry Based Learning (IBL). Inquiry based learning is a technique that encourage students to seek the information by asking questions, creating hypotheses, examining and building new knowledge. I believe this methodology is a very effective technique of teaching in which it allows students to look at the problem analytically and actively by searching and integrating founded information over their knowledge. At the end students will came up with solutions, reflection, thoughts and suggestions to the presented problem .
On the ground, similarly I have tried this kind of learning technique applying Project Based Learning (PBL). A group of students are giving a scenario about certain topic where they discuss ideas and thoughts to solve and investigate various stages of this scenario and then present it as project.
There are several models of Inquiry based learning like Big6, super3 and WebQuest. The first two models are the same they were addressed for younger age students because of their sample steps, both asked students to analyze the problem and solve it by following series steps. Super 3 is specially used for children because it has only three steps processes to solve an existing problem. WebQuest has different story it has more details and phases, I will present this concern on my next blog inshalla.
