I think inquiry-based learning is a good way to involve students in the learning process. I teach history, and most students want to know why things happened. There are times when they ask questions that I am not really sure what the answer is. To kind of spark their interest, I offer bonus points to those who find the answer for me. I teach eighth grade, and they are really hard to get interested in anything. By this age, group work doesn't seem to work that great, at least in social studies. In some groups, one or two do the work and the others just get the answers from them. I would like to find ways to do more inquiry-based learning with my students.
