- Teaching approachEnquiry-based learning
Inquiry-based learning in Health and Physical Education (HPE) is a student-centered approach that encourages learners to explore, investigate, and question concepts related to health, physical activity, and well-being. It promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, and active engagement by allowing you to take responsibility for your learning. Rather than simply receiving information, you pose questions, conduct research, and draw conclusions based on their findings, often within practical or real-world contexts.
