According to Indiana University Bloomington, Inquiry-based learning is an “instructional model that centers learning on a solving a particular problem or answering a central question. There are several different inquiry-based learning models, but most have several general elements in common:
1. Learning focuses around a meaningful, ill-structured problem that demands consideration of diverse perspectives
2. Academic content-learning occurs as a natural part of the process as students work towards finding solutions
3. Learners, working collaboratively, assume an active role in the learning process
4. Teachers provide learners with learning supports and rich multiple media sources of information to assist students in successfully finding solutions
5. Learners share and defend solutions publicly in some manner”
