Inquiry based learning

This is a great video that describes the Inquiry based learning, what dose it mean and how can you apply it in your classroom.

I liked this video a lot that I don't want to add anything more to force you to watch it.

But I might add that Inquiry based learning is the new way of teaching and many teacher starts to apply it in their teaching strategies and I was a fan of this type of learning since I was a student and I tried to use it in my teaching but now after knowing its principles I think that the quality of learning will increased.

This is comparison between the traditional teaching and the Inquiry based learning

Student centered learnning

Student centered learnning is great opportunity for student to express their thought and their ideas. Student feels less bored and excited to learn new things. Student relations are enhanced where the student should deals with each other to learn and to do projects.

The information that the students learn through the student centered learnning stays in their head more than the information that the students learn through the old teaching methods because they get involve in learning process.

On the other hand the students may don’t like this type of learning especially if they have some issues with the other students. Other student may get scared of this type of learning especially if they have low self confidence because in this type of learning the responsibility of learning relay on the student where the teacher is a guide.

For a teacher this type of Student centered learnning is relieving because you will know that the students won't get bored and all of them will be engaged in the learning process. But that dose not means that there won't be some students who don’t want to work and will only watch the other while they are working. The challenge now is to let them be involved and self-motivated.
