Inquiry based learning is learning that is taught to allow students to comprehend what it is that is going on in the learning environment or what it is that is being taught. Inquiry based learning let’s a child gain control and confidence on what it is that he/she is being taught. Questions tend to play a major role in inquiry based learning because a child is able to explore and understand before an answer is given. Yet it gives them the ability to use their brains and come up with answers on the subject. As a daycare teacher I remember that I used inquiry based learning but I had no clue that I was using it. Daycare children say the most spectacular things when arriving to an answer. To others it may have sounded like the craziest thing in the world but it made a lot of sense to me. Although their answer may not have been right, it showed me that they explored all of the other things around them. That basically sums of inquiry because the answer doesn’t have to be right, just as long as the student arrives to an answer and comprehends it. Now a days there is no more creative writing times in school that allows a child to explore their minds with questions that open their world
