Join us for an engaging workshop focused on equipping students with essential inquiry-based research skills and empowering critical thinking in the classroom. In today's rapidly evolving landscape, where information is abundant and technology continues to advance, it's more crucial than ever to nurture students' ability to ask questions, explore ideas, and think critically about the world around them. Through interactive activities and practical strategies, participants will discover how to create a supportive learning environment that encourages curiosity and student-driven investigation. From designing effective research questions to evaluating sources and synthesizing information, attendees will gain practical insights into guiding students through the research process. Furthermore, we'll explore how to leverage technology, including artificial intelligence tools, to enhance students' research capabilities while also fostering ethical considerations and digital literacy. Whether you're an educator seeking to enhance your pedagogical approach or a curriculum developer aiming to integrate inquiry-based learning into educational programs, this workshop offers valuable techniques and resources to inspire and empower students as lifelong learners and critical thinkers.
