#InquiryBasedLearning promotes student ownership of their learning, as they become active participants in their education.

One of the joys of #InquiryBasedLearning is seeing the individual responses and creations from engaged learners. IBL fosters creative solutions to real-world contexts - a perfect partner for #CfW.

#InquiryBasedLearning fosters collaboration among students as they work together to research, discuss, and develop their understanding. Aiding to develop the next generation of collaborative minds.

#IBL provides an opportunity for students to exercise their creativity and develop a greater appreciation of a given subject matter, crafting a 'bigger picture' of their worldview.

#InquiryBasedLearning encourages critical thinking, allowing students to develop essential problem-solving skills and explore innovative solutions. Paired with #CfW, it provides engaging pedagogy as you work towards ‘What Matters’.

Student-driven learning helps tackle challenging concepts with a 'hands-on' approach, as not everyone learns best from a top-down learning method. #IBL

Planning is emergent. While the teacher is cognisant of key elements and concepts to be included, the detail unfolds rather than being pre-determined and fully scoped out. #IBL

#InquiryBasedLearning offers an engaging and interactive approach to education, allowing students to actively explore units and develop their own understanding.

Units of #inquiry are generally driven by generative questions, posed by either the teacher and/or pupil, and conveyed as a statement or a question. They are captured as a Central Idea.

How can we develop #IBL in our classrooms? Utilising debate, science experiments, project-based work, group work, school trips and more. All of which cater to different learning styles.

We're thrilled with how yesterday went with Professor Yeap Ban Har, and we are so grateful for the positive feedback so far #primedforsuccess

When students are allowed to #explore problems that exist in the real world, they can see how what they are learning in the classroom is relevant. #IBL

#InquiryBasedLearning helps students improve their #communication skills. When working on a problem, they often have to explain their thoughts and ideas to others. This helps them learn how to communicate effectively with others.

This concept of learning encourages #creativity. When students are given the opportunity to explore a problem independently, they often come up with creative solutions. They are not restricted by particular modes of thinking. #IBL

#InquiryBasedLearning helps students develop #problemsolvingskills. When they are given the opportunity to explore real-world problems, they are required to think outside the box and come up with their own solutions.

#InquiryBasedLearning encourages students to think critically about the information they are presented with. They are asked to question the information and develop their own solutions. This type of learning helps students develop problem-solving skills and critical thinking skills.

‘Inquiry… requires more than simply answering questions or getting a right answer. It espouses investigation, exploration, search, quest, research, pursuit, and study. It is enhanced by with a community of learners, each learning from the other in social interaction.’ Kuklau, Maniotes and Caspari

#Learning can be shallow or deep. It can skim the surface of many things or it can #engage deeply with a few key ideas.

Pursuing answers through #collaboration is at the heart of #InquiryBasedLearning. Stimulated through engaging tasks and challenges.

#InquiryBasedLearning utilises bottom-up approaches to understanding and problem solving, whereby learners are engaged and intrigued, wanting to pursue next steps.

Learning is active and involved; where connections which develop significant understandings are the priority. #IBL
October 28, 2025 at 8:00 AM
#Inquirybasedapproaches aim to encourage deep learning – where learners are absorbed and fascinated.

#InquiryBasedLearning works in harmony with pedagogy, connecting concept, contexts and content.
October 21, 2025 at 7:00 AM
The inquiry is presented to an audience as a demonstration of understanding, whether within the class or in a broader context. This occurs during the reflection phase, where key generalisations are made and shared. #IBL

Children experience connected learning episodes. One task is clearly linked to the next rather than being individual activities. #IBL
