Abstract

This article introduces Guided Inquiry Learning (GIL), a teaching approach that combines Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL), the Flipped Classroom, and Traditional Lectures.

This method helps students stay engaged, understand the material deeply, and work together in a vibrant environment. The article compares GIL with IBL and the Flipped Classroom, highlighting its benefits and addressing challenges. GIL offers a balanced approach that supports students' learning and engagement without requiring extensive preparation before class.
