Notas do Editor
To begin, write your own constitutes Inquiry-based learning, write your own definition. Be thoughtful about this even though I am not going to ask you to share this. Please do this now. Generally speaking inquiry based-learning provides the skills one needs to solve problems and make good decisions. Most of you have used inquiry-based strategies when you purchased a car, planned a trip or decided to take this course. In purchasing a car I assume you didn't serendipitously walk into an auto showroom and impulsively select a car you had never heard anything about. If you did I have a great buy for you on a bridge. How did you decide the manufacturer, model and where to buy it? Did you do some research first? Did you rely on prior knowledge? There's nothing new about inquiry-based learning, although implementing it in classrooms has been a slow process because our traditional educational systems have worked in a way to discourage the process of inquiry even though children and adolescents are curious and want to know the whys and hows of things. Now more than ever, we need to teach them how to make good decisions and to keep our practices parallel with their needs.
Although Inquiry-based learning has often been associated in teaching the sciences, it is an integral way of processing information into knowledge in all subject areas and presents an exciting way for students to learn content and to learn how to learn. When a mystery writing is developing a story or researching information for a new historic novel, they are using the inquiry process. When a journalist investigates a news event and a debater prepares to defend a point of view, they too use inquiry skills.
