This week as I created my component two presentation for Investigating Partnering Pedagogies, I found out just how valuable inquiry-based learning can be. Inquiry based learning can be considered the basis of partnering. Inquiry based learning is leading the class with challenging questions instead of simply presenting the information and encouraging passive learning. Inquiry based learning really does allow the students to engage in the content and requires them to think for themselves. In my teaching career, I do plan on fostering an inquiry based method. Using this method in your class can make your students more productive and create a desire to learn and interact with the content and each other. Inquiry based classrooms tend to have a community feel as you allow the students to collaborate, discuss, create, and discover with one another. The importance of inquiry based learning is that you allow the students to discover their own personal ways of learning and discovering. When you allow your students to learn this way, you are allowing them to strengthen their critical thinking, communication, and creativity skills that they will use for the rest of their academic careers and beyond. I really enjoyed researching inquiry based learning and how I can implement it into my future classroom.
