Tucel Deprem, Sabahat Tugçe; Çakiroglu, Jale; Öztekin, Ceren; Kingir, Sevgi – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
The quasi-experimental, two-group (treatment and comparison), pretest--posttest study of metacognition, epistemological beliefs, and science content achievement explored the effectiveness of argument-based inquiry (ABI) instruction as opposed to traditional teacher-directed lectures and structured activities. Participants included 60 eight-grade…
