Inquiry and Concept-Based Learning

Our Values

The purpose of the Inquiry and Concept-Based Learning special interest group is to create a collaborative space for educators to share knowledge and strategies for designing and implementing inquiry and concept-based learning. The group explores how inquiry and concept-based approaches support deep and transferable learning across various contexts, with a focus on supporting educators in translating theory into practical classroom strategies.
