What is inquiry-based learning?

Inquiry-based learning is an independent question-driven research method following four steps: Focus, Explore, Analyze and Share learning. The Inquiry method places the responsibility for learning on the student and encourages them to arrive at an understanding of concepts by themselves. This method encourages learners to be self-directed and to build relevant research skills.
