The study is focused on the combined use of Inquiry based & Reflective pedagogical approaches in complex theoretical lectures in Architecture to gain maximum learning outcome of the learners as Inquiry based Teaching is an excellent path for achieving a goal based partly on the philosophy that �Humans are born Inquirers,� the method focuses on student discovery over pushing information from the instructor. Along the way, the students explore multiple sources and contexts, ask questions and pursue hypotheses, and work to apply their theories to new and diverse situations. In doing this, they actively discover the interrelatedness among concepts, topics, and theories. Inquiry-based approaches are intended to foster critical thinking. By supporting students in their initial Conceptual explorations, more in-depth analyses, and synthesizing processes, these pedagogies deepen the students learning. The next and extreme step of inquiry based teaching leads to Reflective Teaching where self-analysis and evaluation play a very important role. The study will be following empirical approach and will incorporate only direct or indirect overview over Inquiry Based & Reflective Teaching Approach towards the students of B.Arch 1st Year and the focus will be on the complex theoretical classes; the concepts of which in Architecture students find quite inconvenient to understand.
