nquiry-Based instruction is the teaching method researched for this paper. The research collected shows the importance of inquiry-based instruction in the 21st century schools. The students today need more instruction to allow them to discover the answer to the problem instead of the teacher always modeling the problems. Inquiry-Based instruction is a student centered teaching method and the students work in pairs or groups to solve problems. Studies have shown that students retain the information better when given the opportunity to connect meaning to their learning. The research conducted found classroom management techniques along with the challenges you may encounter to effectively plan, create and develop meaningful inquiry-based lessons.

I researched several articles and books to collect information on the inquiry-based teaching model. The inquiry-based instruction model has the students explore a new concept by generating questions, investigating the problem, observe, and apply the new concept to better understand it in a real-world situation. The role of the teacher acts as a coach guiding the learner through the questioning process and leading them to the investigation step to discover how the new concept relates to their world while working in a group setting. The inquiry-based classroom environment creates critical thinkers, life-long learners, ownership of learning and meaning to new concepts. I found this research topic to be a beneficial teaching strategy for to me to incorporate in my 8th grade math classes. I am planning on implementing this teaching method in the following school year to increase my student’s achievement level while engaging all learners, navigate them to discover a new concept and apply it to a real-world …show more content…
I find a lot of my students not wanting to be resourceful in finding answers to their questions because they find it easier to ask me for the answer. Implementing inquiry-based instruction will lead students to becoming more creative, experimental, and take ownership in their learning (Miller, 2015). Miller (2015) conveys the classroom environment has been established it’s okay to fail and allow revisions to the students work. This type of learning environment would be an effective way to implement the inquiry-based teaching method. The students that struggle in school with the traditional teaching methods will respond well to an inquiry-based learning setting, awakening their confidence, interest, and self-esteem (Morino Institute, The YouthLearn Initiative at EDC, 2012). Inquiry-based teaching method will engage, motivate and reach
