Inquisitive Based Learning
Every child possess a natural curiosity about their surroundings - the sights and sounds or the 5 senses. What IBL capitalizes on is their curiosity and their desire to investigate the world around them. Children will have opportunity to carry out an in-depth exploration of a topic based on the interests of children (similar to thematic learning). These explorations can last from a few days to a few weeks, depending on student engagement. Throughout the project, students learn and develop essential skills, such as questioning, analyzing and hypothesizing.
Inquiry-based learning provides plentiful of benefits for students and educators. Through inquiry, students begin to ask questions that lead to further exploration and investigation. In contrast with "pre-packaged themes", inquiry-based learning allows for more natural, genuine and deep learning to take place. Students are able to engage in richer thinking, as they can apply their previous experiences and use their strengths in the context of the new learning. Educators can use inquisitive-based learning to build on their student's innate desire for exploration.
