Inquiry-based learning (IBL) is a learner-centered active learning
environment where deep learning is cultivated by a process of
inquiry owned by the learner. It has roots in a constructivist
educational philosophy and is oriented around three components: 1)
exploration and discovery (e.g. problem-based learning, open
meaning-making), 2) authentic investigations using contextualized
learning (e.g. field studies, case studies), and 3) research-based
approach (e.g. research-based learning, project-based learning).
IBL begins with an authentic and contextualized problem scenario
where learners identify their own issues and questions and the
teacher serves as guide in the learning process. It encourages
self-regulated learning because the responsibility is on learners
to determine issues and research questions and the resources they
need to address them. This way learning occurs across all learning
domains. This volume covers many issues and concepts of how IBL can
be applied to STEM programs. It serves as a conceptual and
practical resource and guide for educators, offering practical
examples of IBL in action and diverse strategies on how to
implement IBL in different contexts.
