Wilson, Christopher D.; Taylor, Joseph A.; Kowalski, Susan M.; Carlson, Janet – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2010
We conducted a laboratory-based randomized control study to examine the effectiveness of inquiry-based instruction. We also disaggregated the data by student demographic variables to examine if inquiry can provide equitable opportunities to learn. Fifty-eight students aged 14-16 years old were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Both groups of…
