ENHANCING STUDENTS' SELF-STUDY SKILLS THROUGH INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING

This article analyzes the role of Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) in developing students’ self-study skills. The approach encourages learners to engage in problem-solving, questioning, and independent investigation, shifting education from teacher-centered to student-centered paradigms. IBL supports critical and creative thinking, fostering deeper student engagement. Research findings demonstrate that IBL improves learners’ autonomy, innovative thinking, and their capacity for lifelong learning, making it an effective strategy for modern education.
