Question

What is Inquiry- based learning? How can it affect the teaching of Social Sciences?

Answer 1

Inquiry-based learning is a learning approach that involves more than usual attention and engagement of students. It increases the role of students in the learning process. Being a part of this process, the students learn with more excitement, they conduct research and share their results in class, they explain what worked out and what not. Since Social Sciences are always evolving, they require a flexible mind. A flexible mind is a result of diverse skills and knowledge acquired during learning. Inquiry-based learning is what helps to obtain such traits.
