Inquiry-based learning is an approach to teaching and learning that emphasizes students’ active participation in the learning process through asking questions, investigating, and exploring different aspects of a topic or subject. In this approach, students are encouraged to critically analyze and evaluate information, solve problems, and develop their own knowledge and understanding through a process of inquiry. Rather than receiving information passively, they are actively engaged in constructing their own understanding of the world around them. Inquiry-based learning is often seen as an effective way to help students develop essential skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity.
