Preferred term

inquiry-based learning  

Definition

  • Rooted in the philosophy and methods of Socrates and John Dewey, inquiry-based learning is associated with a range of pedagogical approaches that center on learners constructing knowledge through active investigation. This approach is often viewed in opposition to more teacher-centered, text-centered, and didactic pedagogies. [Source: Encyclopedia of Educational Reform and Dissent; Inquiry-Based Learning]
