Inquiry-based learning helps learners think critically, explore ideas, and make real-world connections. In my Geography and Life Sciences classes, I encourage learners to investigate topics like river systems, human impact on the environment, and ecosystems through observation, discussion, and simple practical activities. Even in resource-limited schools, inquiry works by using local examples, peer collaboration, and small investigations that develop problem-solving, communication, and critical-thinking skills. When learners lead their own investigations, they take ownership of their learning, become more engaged, and gain 21st-century skills. Iโd love to hear how other educators foster inquiry in classrooms with limited resources.
