Inquiry Based Learning in the Early Years’ Program
Inquiry-based learning (IBL) continues to be the trend within many early years’ programs. Research shows that if facilitated appropriately, this style of learning encourages very young children to investigate in collaboration with others using different forms of communication and it enables them to make use of more capable peers and/or problem solve under supervision. This can be done indoors, as well as outdoors. But what exactly is it? What does it look like? What ages of children are ideal for IBL? How can one incorporate the elements in your setting? In order to address these questions, we will explore the philosophical foundations of IBL in early childhood learning and some powerful strategies we can use on a daily basis to increase children’s critical thinking. The workshop is an introduction to IBL in the early years setting.
