This article develops a methodology integrating independent digital inquiry and classroom discussion. A conceptual synthesis defines analytical continuity through evidence search, verification, and reasoned revision. A six-stage methodology, an eight-academic-hour module, and assessment criteria are proposed. An individual analytical portfolio connects learning stages and records changes in reasoning.
