Erol, Mustafa; Buyuk, Ugur; Tanik Onal, Nagihan – Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2016
The inadequacy of experimental activities (or lack of equipment) in science courses in rural parts of Turkey negatively effects students' acquisition of scientific thinking and inquiry skills. The fact that success rates are notably low in international assessments demonstrates the necessity to adopt "different" approaches apart from the…

Pérez, María del Carmen B.; Furman, Melina – International Journal of Environmental and Science Education, 2016
Designing inquiry-based science lessons can be a challenge for secondary school teachers. In this study we evaluated the development of in-service teachers' lesson plans as they took part in a 10-month professional development course in Peru which engaged teachers in the design of inquiry-based lessons. At the beginning, most teachers designed…
