·         After a Google search I found the Early Childhood of Australia website citing its publication 'Every Child' magazine, VOL. 18 NO. 2 2012, states that Inquiry Learning is 'deep learning'.  The article describes learning environment in which a child implements his own learning and is able to develop a deeper learning by taking ownership of the direction the learning will take. ·         Question then:   is Inquiry Learning more realistically managed and more successful in an early childhood environment where the time constraints of the curriculum or program may not be as intense? ·         Search for IL in early childhood netted less results but not markedly. ·         Search for IL and early childhood returned significantly less results so it was easier to find material that was more relevant to the topic. ·         When I searched for “success of inquiry learning within early childhood education” using quotation marks, the results were significantly narrowed and included links to childcare courses, the Early Childhood Association and the Early Years Learning Framework. ·         One website spoke about inquiry modes and the fact that they open up investigations into questioning strategies used by teachers to promote inquiry skills.  It believed research showed that most teachers knew where they wanted the questioning to lead.  This is very relevant to the research I am doing.
