DInquiry learning ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Inquiry learning — The approach where students investigate a puzzling situation is inquiry learning, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The approach where students investigate a puzzling situation is inquiry learning, so that is the answer.
★Inquiry learning starts with questions, scenarios or problems rather than ready answers.
★Students gather data, test ideas and reach their own conclusions.
★The teacher acts as a guide rather than a direct informer.
★This active investigation makes students responsible for their own learning.
★Discovery, latent and situated learning describe different processes and do not fit as well here.
