The study employed a mixed-methods convergent approach to investigate the qualitative and quantitative aspects of existing inquiry-based tasks found in learning modules. In the analysis and design of the proposed model, the study identified three essential inquiry trends (introduction, investigation, and communication), comprising 6 Phases and 16 Sub-phases. The study also reveals the process of scientific inquiry in iterative feedback loops, characterizing the implementation process of a complete task. Furthermore, the proposed model provides a structured yet flexible framework for conducting a dynamic and authentic inquiry. https://pubs.sciepub.com/education/13/4/2/education-13-4-2.pdf Multidirectional Model Scientific Inquiry and Inquiry-Based Tasks
