INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING Meaning of Inquiry Inquiry is a learning process that motivates you to obtain knowledge or information about people, things, places, or events. You do this by investigating or asking questions about something you are inquisitive about, and examining such data carefully.
Inquiry elevates your thinking power. It makes you think in different ways, enabling you to arrive at a particular idea or understanding that will motivate you to create something unique, new, or innovative for your personal growth as well as for the world.
Inquiry, as a problem-solving technique, includes cooperative learning because any knowledge from members of the society can help to make the solution. Whatever knowledge you have about your world bears the influence of your cultural, sociological, institutional, or ideological understanding of the world (Badke, 2012).
