Why IBL?

We have chosen IBL as the pedagogical framework to design an interdisciplinary unit on the Sri Lanka conflict.
Why? We feel that students would be able to discover the case study on their own. It espouses investigation, exploration, search, quest, research, pursuit, and study. Inquiry does not stand alone, it engages, interests and challenges students to connect their world with the curriculum. We think that IBL is appropriate in learning about history as 'we enable our students to draw on the knowledge and wisdom of the past while using the technology of the present for advancing new discoveries for the future'.
