Dr. Mujibul Hasan Siddiqui

Abstract :

Richard Suchman propounded Inquiry Training Model. He used this model to teach learners a process how to investigate and explain unusual phenomena. In this model thinkers and scholars try to organize knowledge and make various principles. Suchman’s model was developed on the basis of analysis of different methods utilized by the creative researchers particularly physical scientists. He identified several elements of their inquiry process. On the basis of this, he developed inquiry training model.The theory given by Suchman indicate that people inquire naturally when they are puzzled,they can become conscious of and learn to analyze their thinking strategies,new strategies can be sought directly and added to the student’s existing ones,co–operative inquiry enriches thinking and helps students to learn about the tentative emergent nature of knowledge and to appreciate alternative explanations.Inquiry training model gives more emphasis on developing awareness of and mastering the inquiry process. Inquiry training model of teaching has five phases which are encounter with the problem data gathering – verification , data gathering – experimentation, formulating an explanation ,analysis of the inquiry process.
