Investigate Phase :Unveiling Perspectives

Note: This article will reference terms like "autism," "children impacted by autism," or "on the spectrum." It is acknowledged that these terms may oversimplify the intricacies of the issue, both clinically and emotionally. However, a detailed exploration of their meanings is not the focus of this article.

I-Investigate phase :

In Challenge-Based Learning (CBL), the investigation phase holds paramount importance as it propels learners into real-world challenges, cultivating critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This stage encourages collaborative exploration, ensuring the practical application of theoretical knowledge and fostering a comprehensive understanding of the subject.

II-Guiding Questions :
