Inquiry-based learning starts with students asking questions about a topic, which drives their investigation into new material. It is motivated by student curiosity and allows them to learn at their own level. While it requires student participation, the teacher guides the inquiry process and connects learning to curriculum outcomes. Assessments focus on essential understandings rather than surface-level content. Examples of inquiry-based learning commonly come from science classes, where students develop questions and hypotheses to answer through hands-on activities and research.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

6. What is Inquiry-Based Learning?
The definition of inquiry-based learning
(IBL) is that it starts from a place of
questioning. Students may spontaneously
ask questions or be prompted to ask
questions about a particular topic.
It always follows from students' questions
as the main motivation to investigate new
material or acquire new skills. Inquiry-
based learning can be especially
motivating for students who do not
respond well to top-down instructional
models.

13. Other advantages of Inquiry-Based
Learning including:
Students in an inquiry-based
environment know that their voices
matter and that their curiosity is
important to their teacher.
Because inquiry-based learning starts
with questions, students are often very
authentically motivated to learn.
Inquiry-based learning is easy to
differentiate because it is accessible to
students at a wide range of levels.
An inquiry-based classroom
environment is also very inclusive.
14. These are some disadvantages to
this style of instruction, and the
measures we can take to overcome
them.
1. Testing performance
When teachers focus learning time
on student-led inquiries, it is
important that no area of the
curriculum is left behind.
The workaround: The role of the
teacher in connecting curricular
outcomes to the line of inquiry is the
fundamental solution to this
problem.
15. 2. Reluctance to participate
This teaching and learning style require total
student engagement and participation.
Students will be asked to speak up and
immerse themselves in the activity. While this
could help enhance their public speaking skills
and promote teamwork, it could be daunting
for those students who have issues with
speaking out.
The workaround: The solution is found
initially in the kinds of questions that teachers
ask throughout any inquiry. Essential
questions that are big enough and open
enough for anyone to answer from their own
perspective, experience, or level of ability
provide an entry point for every learner into a
conversation that is relevant to them.
16. 3. Teacher Mindset and Preparedness
If teachers do not completely understand or embrace
this concept, they are unprepared and unable to
engage with their students on a deeper level. This
creates a disconnect, which in turn leaves the
students unprepared and at risk.
The workaround: A key factor is understanding that
great classroom inquiry is guided and supported by
the teacher, through questioning and by providing
formative feedback. Students are never left to their
own devices; rather, the teacher facilitates and
guides each step of the inquiry process.
17. 4. Student Readiness
Students involved in this type of setting
must have the capacity to inquire and make
decisions on their own. As inquiry is a self-
directed form of learning, they must be
comfortable with taking responsibility for
their own learning, without relying on
someone telling them what to do on a
continuous basis.
The workaround: The critical solution to
this potential problem is to teach the skills
of the inquiry process to learners. All
learners have the capacity to ask great
questions, and to make judgement about
the information they are researching.
18. 5. Assessments
The nature of inquiry-based learning does not
lend itself to traditional models of
assessment. The teacher-centered paradigm
of pre-preparing assessments that are
designed to confirm retention of pre-
determined knowledge will not work well in
an inquiry setting.
The workaround: The solution is to ask
questions that connect to the essential
understandings and deep concepts of the
curriculum, rather than to specific areas of
surface-level content.

23. Inquiry-Based Learning Examples
A lot of thought and work goes into designing
inquiry-based learning investigations. For
instance, a teacher might ensure that students
can access strong research materials to
answer their questions, as well as activities like
dramatizations, presentations, and role plays
that help them unearth new materials.
Possibly the most natural place to find IBL
strategies happening is in the science
department. Many examples of inquiry-based
learning come in the context of an inquiry-
based learning science environment, where
students are likely to start by listing a series of
questions about the topic at hand.
24. Inquiry-based learning in science can also be
quite motivating for students, as they come to
understand that even the most abstract
seeming science ideas can be applied to
solve authentic questions they might have.
For example, students might start by asking
questions about the most efficient way to
figure out how much pressure they need to
reduce the volume of specific gas in a
container. In pursuit of answering such a
question, students will have to think
numerically, and probably collaboratively as
well.
Because inquiry stems from students' real,
concrete questions, inquiry-based learning
can be an important bridge into using
authentic learning standards in the classroom.
25. ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF
INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING
DESCRIPTION
1. Orientation/Observation The teacher introduces a new topic or
concept. Students explore the topic
through research, direct instruction,
and hands-on activities.
2. Question/Conceptualize Students develop questions related to
the topic, make predictions, and
hypothesize.
3. Investigation This is the lengthiest part of inquiry
learning. Students take the initiative,
with appropriate teacher support, to
discover answers, to find evidence to
support or disprove hypotheses, and to
conduct research.
4. Conclusion Having collected information and data,
students develop conclusions and
answers to their questions. They
determine if their ideas or hypotheses
prove correct or have flaws. This may
lead to more questions.
5. Discussion/Sharing All students can learn from each other
at this point by presenting results. The
teacher should guide discussions,
encouraging debate, more questions,
and reflection.

29. Here's the truth—there are
advantages and disadvantages to any
kind of instructional method. As
always, it is the human element that
makes things interesting.
There's no perfect one-size-fits-all
teaching approach that will connect
with the interests and abilities of every
single student out there, and teachers
know this intimately.
