Inquiry based learning.
Fund of Knowledge
"Everything now known by humanity"
Inquiry implies a "need or want to know" premise. Inquiry is not so much seeking the right answer, because often there is none. But rather seeking appropriate resolutions to questions and issues.
This is why schools must change from a focus on "what we know" to an emphasis on "how we come to know".
Project-based learning
Students focus on a topic and explore on their own. They learn to become explorers and use the world around them. "Project based learning is also a instructional approach built upon authentic learning activities that engage student interest and motivation"
