is based on using inquiry strategies to engage students in discovering rules and relationships within the subject matter of study. This method requires a shift in the role of the teacher from presenting subject matter to activating conversation with the students to encourage them to discover the rules and context of the subject matter. The key role of the teacher is to coach the students by questioning, providing context to the subject area, and drawing upon the learner’s prior and prerequisite knowledge, giving feedback, and providing help.Definition / Attributes: Guide / Inquiry / Discovery Method of Teaching

This is a questioning and conversational teaching strategy where the learners are required to discover the rules and generalities of subject matter. Learners discover the generalities of the subject while engaging in discussions and exploration of several practice examples. Feedback (on discovery of correct generalities and instances) and elaboration (help, prerequisites, and context setting to aid the learner in discovery) are provided to learners during their inquiry activities. Feedback and elaboration may include pointing our pictorial relationships, application of the rules, presentation of context through historical information, and prompting elicitation of prerequisite information.
