The Inquiry Cycle is a popular teaching technique within schools, however, we are beginning to see it used in other areas of work. Because of this, the Inquiry Cycle is continuously improving with the technology developments that move it along. When it is used, there is a general “framework” that includes phases from the first step to the last step to make the cycle systematic. These phases include Orientation, Conceptualization, Investigation, Conclusion, and Discussion. Often times, these phases are organized deeper into sub-phases. Since the Inquiry Cycle is used in more ways other than teaching, there are many different frameworks that may or may not include each phase. Some of them may even be in a different order, however, the Discussion phase is most likely present at all times as it connects all of the other phases together.
