It promotes Learning where the Children work on projects in different subjects aiding their thirst for knowledge and making them participate in their learning. They conduct their research, involve in group projects and enunciates their idea about various concepts and themes in their way.
- Inquiry as a form of Learning- At Senior Delhi School, Chinsura focuses on inquiry-based learning which emphasises the student's participation in the learning process. Students are urged to study the subject, ask questions, and exchange ideas rather than having the teacher dictate what they should know. Small-group discussions and guided learning are two methods of instruction used in inquiry-based learning. Students learn by doing rather than by memorization of information and knowledge. They can use inquiry, experience, and conversation to increase their knowledge in this way. Through this method, we believe that it Fosters curiosity in students, deepens understanding of the concepts, increases students’ engages and creates a love for learning.
