Discovery Learning Students learn through exploring and asking questions about topics they consider interesting (Shindler, 2009). In this regard, student learning occurs in a classroom that fosters inquisitiveness and motivation. In an inquiry-based classroom, students are engaging with the curriculum through questioning (Shindler, 2009). It enables them to elicit their thinking by observing their environment and forming questions about it (Shindler, 2009). Then as a class, students can work…
