1. What is inquiry in Research?
- What is inquiry, and what is its relation to research? When we want to
learn something we ask. Thus, Inquiry is defined as a process of learning
that involves exploring and researching the natural world. When it comes to
inquiries, research will mostly be present. Because if we want to discover
something new or we want an updated version of an already existing idea,
we do research. So through inquiring researchers will gradually find the
answers to their questions. Here is an example of the relationship of inquiry
to research:
The teacher asks the students "what is the inquiry of research?". To
answer the question, the students did research.

2. What is the Importance of Inquiry?
- Inquiring is a process that involves citing multiple sources of information
for a purpose of answering our questions. It helps us become mindful and
think deeply. It also helps us think more critically and understand something.
Because of that students learn better through Inquiry-based learning. It is
good to be curious. Because life is all about asking questions, finding
answers, and realizing our mistakes through questioning ourselves and our
surrounding. Solving unsolved questions is what keeps us, humans, alive.
Learning or asking questions shouldn't stop when we finish school it stops
when we're already dead.

3. How to apply inquiry in our lives?
Although the function of inquiry in science education has been extensively
discussed and studied, inquiry learning is applicable to all academic fields.
People require a variety of viewpoints to understand the world. These
viewpoints could be from the aesthetic, scientific, historical, economic, or
from another angle. While there should be connections between
disciplines, inquiry learning also requires the application of certain
"ground rules" that guarantee the credibility of the many disciplines and
their worldviews.

4. What are the outcomes of the inquiry?
Knowledge of the natural and artificial worlds should be a key result of investigation.
What structure do these worlds have? How are they altering? How are they
connected? And how can we talk to one another both within and outside of these
worlds? Important problems and topics that people will encounter throughout their
lives are contained in these basic notions. These ideas can also be used to arrange
the curriculum's material in a way that creates a framework for learning that is both
pertinent and cumulative. A good education should provide students various
perspectives on the world, the ability to discuss it with others, and the ability to
successfully deal with the problems and dilemmas of daily life.
While asking questions and looking for answers are crucial components of inquiry,
there is much work to be done before this questioning and looking may really lead to
new knowledge.
