Abstract
The goal of the instruction should be to induce the students to adopt a deep approach to subjects that are important for their professional and personal development. In to facilitate way, Inductive teaching methods motivate the students, tend to keep the students interested and actively engaged in their learning tasks. There are varieties of inductive learning approach where one approach is quite interesting that a teacher want to practice in the classroom called Inquiry-based learning. Here, a system is developed in order to help the teacher by providing a decision to proceed with inquiry based learning. The input to the system is the sample data that are collected from a classroom by distributing the questionnaire. The system find the learners' characteristic in a classroom by applying the class discrimination mining technique that results the percentage of students likes the inquiry based learning versus the deductive learning. The results are visualized through graphs and pie charts including an ideal discussion.
