Heuristic teaching

Heuristic teaching is an approach that encourages students to discover solutions and understand concepts through exploration, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Instead of providing direct answers, the teacher guides learners to find their own insights by asking questions, fostering curiosity, and supporting active engagement. This method helps develop independent thinking skills, promotes deeper understanding, and cultivates a mindset of inquiry. It’s often used in areas where understanding processes and reasoning is more valuable than memorizing facts, empowering students to become self-directed learners.
