Inquiry Research
Both inquiry and research encourage you to
formulate questions to direct you to exact
information you want to discover about the object
of your curiosity. The core for both inquiry and
research is investigation or questioning but they are
not all the same in both aspect. Research include

follows a scientific procedure of discovering truth
and meanings about things in this world (Goodwin,
