Abstract
Contemporary society, in which the education system is an integral part, is facing increasingly dynamic educational challenges in the 21st century. The implementation of an inquiry-based approach to teaching is emerging as one of the responses to such challenges. By moving away from the traditional way of teaching, it is possible to enhance the quality of learning and teaching, encourage an active role of the students, and thereby contribute to the comprehensive development of their competences that prepare them for life. In the educational context, it is necessary to provide students with a suitable experience for the development of competences and skills needed for effective inquiry-based learning. Inquiry-based learning methods can greatly contribute to the development of problem-solving skills and critical thinking in students who are transferred from school to everyday activities. In creating a stimulating and dynamic learning environment and engaging students in inquiry processes, the role of the teacher is crucial. They lead, guide, and support students in independent problem-solving tasks and in drawing conclusions, enabling them to gain insights into the world around them.
