There are different kinds of inquiry-based learning, which become decreasingly structured and suit different classrooms:

  • Confirmation Inquiry 

You give students a question, its answer and the method of reaching this answer. Their goal is to build investigation and critical-thinking skills, learning how the specific method works.

  • Structured Inquiry 

You give students an open question and an investigation method. They must use the method to craft an evidence-backed conclusion.

  • Guided Inquiry 

 You give students an open question. Typically in groups, they design investigation methods to reach a conclusion.

  • Open Inquiry 

You give students time and support. They pose original questions that they investigate through their own methods, and eventually present their results to discuss and expand.

Regardless of the type, inquiry-based learning aims to develop students’ abilities to analyze, synthesize and evaluate information — indications of high-level thinking according to Bloom’s Taxonomy.

To answer your question I need to ask you to explaine me your meaning of "inquiry-baed instruction" more clearly and in more explanatory way. Thx in advance

pose a question/s in class , then put learners into groups to discuss , research and find out possible answers on thier own and give feed back in class and then add more from answers given by learners.

Teachers must assume learners know something from the context to be taught to learners.
