What we mean by inquiry
As there are a myriad ways to interpret inquiry, we are taking inquiry to mean the following for the purposes of the TIES showcases.
Inquiry is an approach to learning that:
- emphasizes the learner’s role in the learning process
- is contextual and purposeful
- involves a process of exploration
- leads to student wonderings and discovery learning
- empowers learners to investigate, connect, synthesise and communicate ideas
- provokes thinking and tests discoveries to develop understanding
- invokes meaningful engagement and learning transfer
