A variation of discovery learning, inquiry learning, typically has the goal of helping students acquire more effective reasoning processes either instead of or in addition to acquiring new information. For example, kindergarten teachers can teach students how to ask questions about phenomena in their physical world and then(1) make predictions, (2) gather and record data related to their predictions, and (3) draw conclusions (Patrick, Mantzicopoulos, & Samarapungavan, 2009). And middle school science teachers can give students kpractice in separating and controlling variables by guiding them as they design and conduct experiments related to, say, factors affecting how fast a pendulum swings or how far a ball travels after rolling down an incline (e.g.,Lorch et al.,2010).
