Why inquiry based learning doesnt work




















Inquiry is not about students doing it on their own but it is about building a learning community where we all have a voice and learn along side one another. Well sometimes our hands are tied but we need to make sure we are not asking our students to do more than they are capable. We need to get our students prepare to inquire about the bigger issues.

These projects are uniform in their acceptance of inquiry-based learning as a pedagogic approach.

SALIS also highlights the appeal of inquiry-based learning in engaging students in science education. As yet there appears to be little evidence emerging that these pilot studies are demonstrating any improvement in standardised assessment scores. Kirschner, Sweller, and Clark argue:. This raises the question, why do we continue to experiment with this approach if there is a substantial body of evidence backing teacher-centred direct instruction?
