GUIDED INQUIRY INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL

Kuhlthau’s model of the Information Search Process is the basis of the Guided Inquiry Model (Kuhlthau et al., 2007). The model is based on six principles:
• Children learn by being actively engaged in and reflecting on experience.
• Children learn by building on what they already know .
• Children develop higher-order thinking skills through guidance at critical points in the learning process.
• Children have different ways and modes of learning .
• Children learn through social interaction with others.
• Children learn through instructions and experience in accord with their cognitive development.
