3-Inductive Guided
Inquiry
1. What is Inductive Guided
Inquiry?
-Induction is a thought process where in
the individual observes selected
events,processes,or objects and then
constructs a particular pattern of
concepts or relationships based on
these limited experiences Inductive
inquiry is a teaching method in which
the teachers ask the students to infer a
conclusion,generalization,or pattern of
relationships from a set of data or facts.
There are two approaches
ofinductive inquiry:guided and
unguided.If you provide the
specifics-that is,the data or facts-
but want the students to make
generalizations,then you are
conducting a guided inductive
inquiry (Tamir, 1995).On the
other hand,if you allow the
students to discover the specifics
themselves before the make
generalizations,the process is an
unguided inductive inquiry.In this
particular lesson,we will
focus on inductive guided inquiry.
Inductive inquiry is actually
applicable for all levels of
instruction (from grade school
to university graduate
schools).At any level,the
processes of
observing,making
inferences,dassifying,formulat
ing
hypotheses,and predicting are
all sharpened (or
reinforced)by the
students'experiences
ll. How to Use Guided
Inductive Inquiry as a Teaching
Strategy?
In guided inductive inquiry,the use of
pictures is usually the easiest way to
introduce this concept
For young children,show different pictures of
the same scene to the class.Ask the children
to tell
what they see in the pictures and to describe
patterns they observe.
Have them state these pattems as generalizations.Ask
questions that require the students to do some generalizing
themselves,such as"What could cause this type of track in
the snow?"or"Where have we seen these before?"(Ohich et
al.,2007).
-What is happening?
-What has happened?
■
What do you think will happen now?
How did this happen?
What caused this to happen?
What took place before this
happened?
Where have you seen something like
this happen?
When have you seen something like
this happen?
How can you make this happen?
How does this compare with what
you saw or did?
How can you do this more easily?
How can you do this more quickly?

Learning Competency
ENGAGE
Show pictures of different types of soil,or
if actual samples are available, bring
them and show the class.
EXPLORE
Ask the students:
1.What are the components of soil?
2.What are the different types of
soil?
3.In what ways are they similar or
different?
4.Which type of soil absorbs and
keeps water?
EXPLAIN
Discuss the components of
soil,different types of soil and their
distinguishing chaae
ELABORATE
Let the students ponder on the following
questions Give them time to share their ides in
class.
1.What is the significance of each type of soil?
Give their spedific use.
