Let them ask, investigate, reflect, discuss, and create!
The inquiry-based method focuses on students' drawing on their own experiences and findings to develop inferences and make sense of phenomena. It strengthens students' engagement, elicits their thinking and fosters their achievements. In contrary to traditional learning, the students' ideas are at the centre of the learning process as knowing the correct answer is no longer the most valuable trait. Instead, students need to be prepared to the world outside the classroom, they need to become skilled in the way they ask questions, use their knowledge to think of answers to their everyday problems, be inventive and creative, and discover the outside world.
As educators, it is our role to be the guide moving all around the classroom, not the person who is just standing in front of the board, talking and talking and talking all the time, asking them to repeat, and celebrating their high grades for rote learning; but forgetting about the zero they will take when they face life while we are not there for them.
