Summary:The study aimed to explore on the elements, importance and implementation of IBL in the teaching learning process. The study discloses the background information, aims, scope, objectives, and the researchers' interest in selecting inquiry-based learning. Three elements which fall in the broader umbrella of IBL such as project-based learning, problem-based learning and case study method of teaching students were also discussed. The study further informs the responsibility of teachers and educators to implement IBL in classrooms to improve 21st century skills such as creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication among the learners. It presents and discusses in detail how the traditional teaching methods hinder the learning of the students in comparison to inquiry-based learning. The literature review brings light to the project-based learning and problem-based leaning which aid the learners to learn life skills to become decision makers, problem solvers and independent thinkers. The literature review concludes by humbly encouraging the implementation of IBL in Pakistani schools, colleges and universities.
