  2. What Is Inquiry? Inquiry is a cognitive survival mechanism of our species. Inquiry is how we humans know and make sense of our surroundings. In sum, inquiry is the multiple ways we discover, invent, and test answers and solutions to questions and problems, and make conclusions about their usefulness.

  3. Inquiry is a process of considered thought in contrast to reflexive response. Out of inquiry, we construct a mental virtual reality, an analog of our surroundings and ourselves; thus, we are constructivists; we are makers of knowledge. We correct our mental versions of the world by personal inquiry into natural phenomena and the knowledge of others.

  27. What is Socratic Inquiry flexible, interactive tool that allows the user to explore new ideas, build on ideas, jog memories, and explore knowledge status interactive involving teacher and student student(s) attempts to invent an answer to satisfy teacher’s testing question and teacher invents next testing question to guide student’s response in desired pathway
