Omarchevska, Yoana; Lachner, Andreas; Richter, Juliane; Scheiter, Katharina – Educational Psychology Review, 2022
Guided inquiry learning is an effective method for learning about scientific concepts. The present study investigated the effects of combining video modeling (VM) examples and metacognitive prompts on university students' (N = 127) scientific reasoning and self-regulation during inquiry learning. We compared the effects of watching VM examples…

Valls-Bautista, Cristina; Solé-LLussà, Anna; Casanoves, Marina – Higher Education, Skills and Work-based Learning, 2021
Purpose: Scientific inquiry is a leading methodology that promotes science process skills to acquire scientific knowledge. There is evidence that primary school teachers have difficulties introducing inquiry-based activities in their classrooms. Hence, adequate teacher instruction in inquiry methodology is important to apply inquiry-based…
