==== //This wiki focuses on Inquiry Learning within HSIE in Australian schools. Throughout this wiki are a number of pages that unpack what inquiry learning really is, its origins and contexts throughout literature, the benefits within the HSIE Key Learning Area and teaching and assessment strategies.// ==== ** Quotes on Inquiry ** //"Inquiry is not a ‘method’ of doing science, history or any other subject in which the obligatory first stage in a fixed, linear sequence is that of students each formulating questions to investigate. Rather, it is an approach to the chosen themes and topics in which the posing of real questions is positively encouraged whenever they occur and by whoever they are asked. Equally important as the hallmark of an inquiry approach is that all tentative answers are taken seriously and are investigated as rigorously as the circumstances permit"// **(Wells, 1999, p. 11).**

"People learn when they seek answers to questions that matter to them" **(Dewey, as cited in Audet & Jordan, 2005, p.65)**

"Inquiry has its roots in the inherent restlessness of the human mind" **(Dow, 1999, p.5)**
