" Rick --who wonders when the last time a program in inquiry based education
was all the rage, since such things do seem to be cyclic in the education
world. ;-)"
The first time I can think of would have been Socrates. At least, he was for the inquiry & interaction through discussion. He was (as I recall) vehemently against the written word. It would make people lazy and only able to recite what they've read. At least that is how it read when I looked at it a few years back (ok, h.s. when old people didn't get it). It is probably more correctly translated differently.
