Types of Inductive Teaching and Learning * Inquiry-based learning Students are presented with a challenge which will require knowledge that has not been completely covered. * Discovery learning: Students are presented with a challenge and left to work out the solution on their own. Students learn to use trial and error to analyze and resolve their findings. The instructor may provide limited feedback * Project-based learning: Students are presented with an assignment that requires that they design or produce a deliverable. * Case-base learning: Students are presented with real-life scenarios, or cases, in which they hypothetically assume various roles. The cases tend to be very well structured filled with elaborate details to incorporate many of the variables real-life problems contain.
