Description |
It is commonly acknowledged that science is rarely taught in a way that engages students in the processes of science - in other words, in a way that engages them in the inquiry that is science. Yet changing the current practice has proved difficult, possibly because models of teaching science through inquiry are rare, and because considerable effort is needed to bring about a change in teaching practice. In order to address this challenge, researchers the world over have studied various aspects of teaching science through inquiry. In this talk, I will discuss our own research in this field, which has focused on aspects of inquiry teaching from the perspectives of researchers, teachers and students. This research has its roots in our curriculum development program at the middle school level, from which we gained extensive classroom experience, and which led to insights on what to teach, and how, at this level. |
