A Practical Guide to Inquiry-Based Teaching for Immediate Classroom Applications
The secret to successful inquiry classes, proven in the field

The paradigm of the classroom is changing.
Moving away from the one-sided transmission of knowledge by teachers, as in the past, inquiry-based learning, where students ask questions, explore materials, and discuss with peers to create meaningful outcomes, is becoming the new standard.
However, many teachers are still struggling with how to implement this in the classroom.

"Dive into Exploration" is a practical guidebook that started from these very realistic concerns.
The author, an educator who has consistently practiced inquiry-based learning in real classrooms, demonstrates the potential and transformation of student-led instruction based on vivid field experience rather than abstract theory.

This book systematically unravels inquiry-based learning in steps.
First, we redefine the roles of teachers and students and introduce methods for building a community of inquiry based on trust.
Next, we explain the four types of inquiry with actual classroom examples and guide you on how to apply them to various subject classes.
Finally, it presents a step-by-step strategy for the entire process of designing, implementing, and finishing a lesson, providing teachers with a practical aid they can immediately apply in the classroom.

In particular, 『Dive into Exploration』 is not just a book of educational philosophy, but a practical teaching manual.
Although it is rich in case studies focused on high school classes, it can be applied to elementary and middle schools as well, so it can be used across all classes.

Whether you're a teacher trying inquiry-based instruction for the first time or a teacher already practicing but needs some fresh ideas, this book will serve as a solid guide for transforming your classroom.
If you dream of a classroom where students actively learn and grow, "Dive into Exploration" will be the clearest and most reliable companion to make that dream a reality.
