Inquiry-based learning is more than just a teaching method; it’s a philosophy that empowers children to become lifelong learners.
At Rothewood Academy we are dedicated to nurturing young minds through the power of inquiry-based learning, a cornerstone of our educational philosophy.
What Is Inquiry-Based Learning?
Inquiry-based learning is not just a teaching method; it’s a transformative approach that celebrates children’s innate curiosity. It encourages them to ask questions, explore their surroundings and seek answers through hands-on investigation. Instead of simply imparting knowledge, our approach empowers children to actively participate in their learning journey.
This educational methodology aims to instill a love of learning by giving each child the tools to navigate the world around them with confidence and curiosity. It prepares them not just for academic success but for success in life.
At Rothewood inquiry-based learning fosters a number of advantages, such as:
- Critical Thinking Skills: This approach to learning promotes critical thinking skills by encouraging children to ask questions and seek answers. Children learn to analyze information, make connections and draw conclusions independently.
- Problem-Solving Abilities: Through hands-on exploration and experimentation, children develop problem-solving abilities. They learn to approach challenges creatively, think outside the box and persevere in the face of obstacles.
- Curiosity and Engagement: Inquiry-based learning fosters a sense of curiosity and engagement in children. They become active learning participants, eagerly seeking new knowledge and understanding.
