Achieving Adaptability through Inquiry Based Learning

Abstract

This report presents inquiry-based learning (IBL) as an instructional strategy that addresses the Army's need for training flexible and adaptive leaders. Distinguishing tenets of IBL are characterized in contrast to the Army's current direct instruction strategy. Elements of IBL, including characterization of the orienting problem, learner support by the instructor, and assessment of learner outcomes are outlined. Considerations for developing an IBL curriculum are addressed, and the outline of a current Army IBL course of instruction is provided.
