Inquiry - Learners investigate questions, problems, or phenomena — generating questions, gathering evidence, and drawing conclusions — rather than receiving explanations directly.
Inquiry and Research - Learners investigate a topic through questioning, data gathering, and evidence evaluation to build understanding they construct rather than receive.
Inquiry-Based Exploration - Learners investigate open-ended problems and generate solutions.
Inquiry-Based Learning - Inquiry-based learning is the element in which learners investigate questions, evidence, or problems in order to build understanding through guided exploration.
