-
The Inquiry Cycle: Typically involves stages like tuning in, finding out, sorting out, going further, making conclusions, and taking action.
-
Student Role: Active researchers, thinkers, and communicators.
-
Teacher Role: Designs learning experiences, provokes questions, provides resources, and guides reflection.
-
