Hi, Hannah,

Thank you for sharing your understanding of inquiry with us. Inquiry is student-oriented while direct instruction is teacher-centered. With the reform of teaching methods, it is recommended that students should be further empowered to engage in learning, whether it is play-based or project-based. However, I also agree with you that although inquiry is more innovative, it should be adopted when the situation calls for it, and sometimes students needs more direct instruction.
