Enquiry based learning
3. Characteristics of enquiry based learning
- The
training is essentially student oriented, focusing on group work and the
use of the library, the Internet and other sources of information.
- Lecturers
become mediators, encouraging and supporting students so that they can
take responsibility for what they learn and how they are learning.
- Students
reach a point where they not only investigate others proposed questions
but can formulate their research topics and turn their research into
useful knowledge.
- Students
acquire not only a deeper understanding of the subject, but also the
knowledge creation and leadership skills needed to solve complex problems
that arise in the real world.
