What is Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL)

1.

An umbrella team that encompasses pedagogical approaches in which active learning is stimulated by questions, problems, or issues, and in which the teacher is a facilitator of learning. IBL can involve students understanding existing knowledge, or discovering new knowledge, and can range from heavily scaffolded approaches where the teacher provides a question or issue and an outline for how to address it, through to student-driven approaches whereby students identify a question and determine a way to explore it.

It is a form of active learning where students are given a carefully scaffolded sequence of tasks and are asked to solve and make sense of them, working individually or in groups. Learn more in: Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Mixed Reality in Education: A Brief Overview

3.

A constructivist student-centered pedagogy using inquiry as a main vehicle for teaching and learning. It focuses on questioning, critical thinking, and problem solving. Learn more in: Hybrid Inquiry-Based Learning

4.

Inquiry-based Learning enables learners to take the role of an explorer and scientist as they try to solve issues they came across and that made them wonder, thus tapping into their personal feelings of curiosity. Learn more in: Inquiry-Based Learning on the Cloud

5.

IBL activities can engage users in scientific processes in order to be established a personal knowledge base and use this command may explain what they observe in the artificial world. Learn more in: Virtual Communities of Inquiry

6.

Similar to the project method, in which activities and problem situations are proposed to suggest research work so that students learn in a practical way. Learn more in: Information Literacy Practices Using Active Teaching-Learning Methodologies in Higher Education

7.

An instructional design approach which begins by establishing self-directed student interest in a broad topic, where the teacher facilitates the development of areas of inquiry and guides students through the process of pursuing knowledge rooted in personal curiosity. Students find different ways of answering their inquiry questions, including examining existing sources, developing experiments, and testing hypotheses, or exploring connections to real world contexts.
