Loukomies, Anni; Juuti, Kalle; Lavonen, Jari – Contributions from Science Education Research, 2018
This chapter describes inquiry-based science teaching and learning (IBST/L) pilots designed by teachers during a professional development programme. There is research-based evidence that IBSL/T may promote students' learning and their motivation to learn science, and therefore it is beneficial to familiarise the teachers with this approach.…
