Ep 62 Motivating and Engaging Students with Inquiry-Based Learning

In this episode, I share the reasons and benefits of inquiry-based learning (IBL) as a teaching strategy.  Inquiry-Based Learning enhances student motivation, critical thinking, and creativity, and links learning to real-world contexts.

IBL can furthermore foster a lifelong love for learning, and is the prefect strategy to help students connect knowledge to other subject areas and their own life experiences.

 Additionally, I addresses some common misconceptions and challenges associated with IBL, and offer solutions and resources for you the educator.
