What is the difference between the discovery model of teaching and the inquiry model of teaching?

The discovery model starts with a question that allows students to discover the basic structure of the subject and is inductive in nature. The inquiry model culminates in an explanation of the question initially posed and requires both inductive and deductive thinking.

The discovery model focuses on transfer in questioning, engaging more learners, and poses questions that are discrete; the inquiry model poses what are essentially aggregated questions

The amount of time spent on the same question varies. The discovery model takes more time to grasp the basic structure of the subject.

The inquiry model focuses on problems that need to be explained, whereas the discovery model places more emphasis on learner interaction.
