Subclaims¶

q2 i? Successful implementation of open inquiry is facilitated by teachers who can effectively manage and regulate the learning environment. → Muhamad Dah 2024 q2 i? Open inquiry as direct application of high student-centered learning was particularly challenging for students with lower abilities, requiring adaptation and modification. → Muhamad Dah 2024 (2)

In its discussion, the review states implementation "may be facilitated by teachers who can effectively manage and regulate the learning environment", noting students often work in small groups and teachers frequently rely on high-achieving students.

"Successful implementation of open inquiry may be facilitated by teachers who can effectively manage and regulate the learning environment (Kang, 2022; Mentzer et al., 2019), especially considering that students often conduct experiments or projects in small groups"

The review reports, citing Rahmat and Chanunan (2018), that open inquiry was "particularly challenging for students with lower abilities"; suggested supports include providing general procedures initially or letting students watch examples first.

"implementing open inquiry as a direct application of student-centered learning proved to be particularly challenging for students with lower abilities (Rahmat & Chanunan, 2018). Therefore, for low-ability students, open inquiry was not an ideal method for directly applying high student-centered learning"
