Socrates – Test of Three Is it true? Is it good? Is it useful?

INQUIRY "A seeking for truth, information or knowledge-seeking information by questioning"

Inquiry is not only developing questions, but also examining how these questions impact the world around them.

Thus, it is not just the students' world that they are concerned with, but also the historical and cultural world. This is accomplished through their being active participants in their learning. This is done by first examining their passions and then exploring, through many forms of media, possible solutions and metaphorical representations. They begin to not only learn how to learn but also how they can impact the world around them.

Inquiry connects the known knowledge to the unknown

The reason that inquiry is so essential to the larger issue of school reform is that it has the potential to create a classroom environment that is more conducive to student learning
