This was the project she chose to display because it is most likely the most visual representation to allow us to see the results in a timely manner. Inquiry based learning requires extensive documentation so that the students teachers and parents can see the progress but that would be tedious to go through reading quotes and the little details of non visual concepts. Most teachers are taking on this approach to some extent even if only for some lessons because it is so effective. It teaches the child to think research problem solve and think critically to find information, find solutions, and look for proof of why that is in fact the solution. In a society where we can easily google any information we need, memorised information is becoming useless and outdated. We need more students that are prepared to take on the work force and real world with the ability to think and problem solve themselves without guided direction. Also, this approach actually has been beneficial to disabled and delayed children on reaching milestones and gaining traction in academics they did not have prior. So if done correctly these kids were probably better prepared for their next grade than most.
