Research is an organized investigation and study of
materials and sources to create facts and reach new
inferences. Research has come up with developing
appropriate solutions to improve the individual’s quality of
life. Although it may take place in a different setting and
may use different methods, scientific research is universally
a systematic and objective search for reliable knowledge
(Walker, 2010).
Inquiry- Based Learning
Inquiry – is a learning process that motivates you to obtain knowledge
or information about people, things, places, or events. You do this by
investigating or asking questions about something. It requires you to
collect data, meaning, facts, and information about the object of your
inquiry and examine the data carefully.
Solving a problem by being inquisitive, you tend to act like scientists
who are inclined to think logically or systematically in seeking evidence
to support their conclusions about something. Beginning with whatever
experience or background knowledge you have, you proceed like
scientists with your inquiry by imagining, speculating, interpreting,
criticizing, and creating something out of what you discovered.
