Description

The article treats AI-supported inquiry-based learning as an instructional approach for secondary mathematics that embeds AI support within inquiry-based learning. It is presented as improving instructional efficiency, with the article stating it "may also improve instructional efficiency through guided exploration, adaptive feedback, and reduced cognitive load." In the study, an experimental group received this approach while a control group received conventional instruction, and outcomes in creative mathematical performance, critical problem-solving skills, and attitudes toward mathematics were measured with validated tests and questionnaires.
