Inquiry-based learning is a process of constructing knowledge through investigation, exploration, asking questions, hypothesising, reflection and application. Intentional teaching guides the children towards making meaning, becoming competent, conceptual understanding and learning how to learn.
“We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.”
“If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea”
GISS Preschool has proudly been recertified as a Little Scientists’ House for the sixth time, recognising more than 10 years of inquiry-based STEM learning. As part of the recertification process, children explored the topic of acoustics through hands-on experiments inspired by their everyday use of musical instruments in the Preschool environment. Guided by their teachers, the children investigated the research question “What can you hear?” while developing their understanding of sound, its properties, and the process of scientific discovery through collaborative learning.
