Using inquiry-based learning(IBL) as the learning design for physical and emotional self-care targeting first-year university students. Students are encouraged to ask questions, explore the answers independently, and reflect on their findings. For example, students can ask questions like “What are the most effective strategies for managing stress during the transition to college setting?”. Then, students will research and assess the applicability of different methods to themselves. This learning method is effective due to its self-engagement and applications to critical thinking. Note that first-year students are likely to be at different stages in their understanding and practice of these concepts. IBL allows students to explore the topic based on their own pace and individual needs and interests, making the process more relevant and engaging. IBL also promotes critical thinking, which is essential to university-level courses. Using this method, Students must research information, evaluate sources and analyze the applicability.
