Abstract

This chapter seeks to expand our knowledge of the benefits of inquiry-based learning, as well as to deepen our understanding of the components of an effective inquiry-based lesson or unit. We’ll explore three approaches to inquiry-based learning: project-based learning, problem-based learning, and learning by design, highlighting key research and unpacking important elements of each approach.
