INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING

Learning happens in two ways: absorbing information and solving problems.

And it works best when you take in that information because you need it to solve a problem - especially a problem that means something to you personally.

At Trinity, we’ve adjusted our approach to education so that you can get the most out of your learning.

Whether you come to the college in person or attend via zoom, you will make the most of your classes by interacting with a qualified lecturer and a learning community.

Class time is spent solving problems and being collaborative. Lecture listening? Well, you can do that when it’s convenient for you.

Inquiry-based learning means you begin with a problem or question. Based on what you know and what you’re taught, it’s up to you to determine which method or approach is best suited to your inquiry, so that you can navigate towards an answer. You end up learning information because you need it to answer your question. And you’ll find that this is the kind of learning experience that sticks.

Finally, what does this mean for assessments? Well, we believe students should have more choice in how they present their learning. As well as writing essays, book reviews and quizzes, there are options to create videos, poetry, music and visual arts, or to preach a sermon.
