Varieties+of+Inquiry


 * ~ ===There are many approaches to teaching and learning that fit under the broad approach known as inquiry.=== ||
 * **Case learning** || Involves inquiry if used when the case study is problem based, but not if it serves as a review of previously taught concepts presented in narrative form ||
 * **Challenge-based learning** || Inquiry into problems of global importance; solutions must be locally applicable, and products created to share the learning must make use of new technologies (Johnson, Smith, Smythe, & Varon, 2009). ||
 * **Expeditionary learning** || Inquiry that includes exploration of the natural world and/or the community through students going out in the world and experts coming to school ||
 * **Group investigations** || Inquiry that is divided among small groups, with each group conducting its own investigation of an aspect of the question or problem. Groups work interdependently to share results and come to conclusions. ||
 * **Literature circles** || Inquiry through small, peer-led reading discussion groups, using any text form (Harvey & Daniels, 2009) ||
 * **Problem-based learning (PBL)** || Inquiry based on a problem that is presented so students recognize they need to learn new knowledge in order to solve the problem ||
 * **Project-based learning** || Inquiry that results in the construction of a performance or artifact. Note that not all student-created products are the result of inquiry. ||
 * **Simulations** || Involve inquiry when they provide a way for students to discover a variety of perspectives, such as through role-play ||

**WebQuest**
|| A structured form of inquiry conducted online ||
