Notes Inquiry training helps to explain the problematic events. According to Suchman, “The goal of Inquiry
Training Model is to develop efficiency and skills in students for the analysis of statics and inventions,

so they can make their own interpretation of events and to search for them and the correlation of the
various elements in order to find the truth”

(2) Structure—There are five stages of the structure of this model:

(a) Presentation of Problem—In this, students select the problem of teacher’s instruction.
(b) Problem Related Experimentation—For half an hour, to get the problem related information,
students ask such questions to which teacher answers either yes or no. This student’s inquiry
continues until they reach the clarification of problem/event. The teacher tells students not to ask

the solution of causes and problem of the event directly. He also instructs students at a time, as
you can ask as many questions and during inquiry, you can also consult your fellow students or
can discuss.
(c) Attempt to Solve Students’ and Teachers’ Problems—In this, after exploring and direct testing,
students compiles the suffixes to get familiar with new elements and examines cause-effect

relationship based on them.
(d) Organization of Information—The information is organized while collecting facts. Teacher evaluates
the result of collected facts and explains them.
(e) Analysis of Inquiry Process—The students are asked to analyse the inquiry process. They also
decided that all required information is received or not. Teacher evaluates and reviews the complete
process and attempts to reach conclusions about the appropriate decision.
(3) Social System—Teacher provides leadership in this model. Students are encouraged to inquire and
get the opportunity to test conclusions. In this model, both teacher and student roles are important.
There is open atmosphere of cooperation between teachers and students.
(4) Evaluation System—In this model, experimental test are especially used for evaluation. It shows
how and to what extent, student works effectively through problem solving.

What is organization of information?

20.2 Characteristics of Evaluation System

1. It is more helpful in scientifi c studies.
2. It creates a tendency in students to ask questions.

3. It develops scientific aptitude in students.
4. A clear and practical knowledge is provided to students through this model.
5. It develops the curiosity of students.
6. This model is used in every academic circumstance.

This model was developed for teaching physics but this model is being used in the
teaching of other subjects.
