Definition of Inquiry
Is a learning process that motivates
you to obtain or information about
people, things, places, or events.
It requires you to collect data,
meaning, facts, and information
about the object of your inquiry,
and examine such data carefully.
In your analysis, you execute varied
thinking strategies that range from
lower-order to higher-order thinking
skills such as inferential, critical,
integrative, and creative thinking.
Inquiry is a problem-solving
technique.
Inquiry elevates your thinking
power.
It makes you think in different ways,
enabling you arrive at a particular
idea or understanding that will
motivate you to create something
unique, new, or innovative for your
personal growth as well as for the
world.
Whatever knowledge you have
about your world bears the
influence of your cultural,
sociological, institutional, or
ideological understanding of the
world (Badke , 2012).
