Abstract
Inquiry-based learning is an approach to learning that encourages students to engage in problem-solving through exploration and high-level questioning. It incorporates active participation of students by involving them in posing questions and bringing real-life experiences to them. The basis of this approach is to channelize the students' thought process through queries and help them in “how to think” instead of “what to think.” This chapter begins by defining constructivism as the theoretical origin of inquiry-based learning, it then moves to talk about the benefits and advantages of this approach on students' learning. It also discusses the multiple forms of inquiry-based learning that have been documented in the literature to increase student involvement in their learning. The chapter demonstrates the various types of inquiry-based learning that can be implemented to drive the teaching process.
