Inquiry is an interactive way of learning. Students are actively engaged in their studies. Inquiry involves student-centered activities focused on questioning, exploring, and providing explanations. The goal of inquiry is to introduce a new way of learning where students can learn about the world around them through active engagement in real-world examples. Inquiry-based learning can be integrated into all academic subjects throughout the curriculum. Science might be the most effective subject to incorporate inquiry. In science, teachers play the role of facilitators of learning, guiding them through the process of inquiry. Teachers should ask open-ended questions, give students time to respond, avoid telling students what to do, avoid discouraging students' ideas or behaviors, encourage them to find solutions on their own, encourage collaboration, maintain high standards and order, develop investigation. assessment-based assessments to track student progress, and be aware that research may be difficult for some students, so be prepared to provide more guidance. There are three types of scientific research: structured, guided and open. The structured form of inquiry is the most teacher-centered. This type of inquiry is primarily seen in laboratory exercises where the teacher must provide structure, but it is the students who conduct the experiment and draw the conclusions. Guided inquiry is where students are given tools to develop a process and find outcomes. For example, the teacher would ask students to build a rocket, but would not explain how to design it. This leaves students with the creativity and uniqueness to be able to apply their knowledge and skills. Open inquiry is when students determine the problem, in the middle of the sheet of paper......success. The survey process is engaging and interactive. Students not only learn more science, but also the study of the world around them. For all students, especially those from diverse backgrounds and with learning difficulties, it is essential that inquiry is accompanied by direct instruction, classroom support, and a guided process.ReferencesHaury , D.
