The document discusses how inquiry-based learning helped the author in their elementary and high school education. Inquiry-based learning involves students planning and carrying out investigations to solve problems and develop explanations. It encourages collaboration and applying learning across different subjects. This approach helped the author make their own connections about what they were learning. It engaged their curiosity and led to a deeper understanding of topics rather than just memorizing facts. Inquiry-based learning also helped the author become a more confident problem solver and autonomous thinker.

"Choose one teaching model from the course outline. Then,
based on the selected teaching model, discuss how it helped you in your elementary or high school years in learning and understanding the lessons taught to you."
I choose Inquiry-based learning because Inquiry-based learning
begins with a question, problem or idea. It involves children in planning and carrying out investigations, proposing explanations and solutions, and communicating their understanding of concepts in a variety of ways. Throughout the inquiry process, children observe, raise questions, and critique their practices. It is an approach that encourages collaboration and can be used effectively in a trans- disciplinary way or in most subject areas. Inquiry based learning helped me in elementary or high school by helping me to make my own connections about what I learn. My curiosity helps me to engage and gain a deeper understanding of topics and content, instead of primarily memorizing and recalling rules, ideas or formulas. During this process, I most understand why the rule or formula works, how the idea was developed, and when they can apply the rule, formula or idea. Provide opportunities for me to become more confident and autonomous problem-solvers and thinkers. It organise for me to experiences extending beyond singular activities, that can be repeated or returned to, and that lend my selves to active engagement in purposeful learning.
