Inductive Learning

For inductive learning, the learner is the teacher and the instructor/educator/librarian is the guide or facilitator. Learners study examples and organize knowledge in order to determine a rule, contrary to traditional classroom learning in which there is lecture (e.g., the rules), followed by examples. Inductive learning is known by various names and structures, including case-based learning, constructivist learning, inquiry-based learning, discovery learning, problem-based learning, and project-based learning.
