...Scientific inquiry The effective use of scientific inquiry is one hallmark of outstanding science teachers. Science teachers who use this approach help their students to develop an understanding that science is both a product and a process. Not only do the students of these teachers learn...

... and, especially, pseudo-science. As with the question of whether bridge qualifies as a sport, drawing this dividing line turns out to be remarkably difficult. For some time (mainly in the 19th century) it was believed that a certain method of inquiry, the “scientific method” characterized the activity called...

... on their incorporation in teaching and learning of science/physics and promoting scientific inquiry at all levels of education (e.g., Scalise et al., 2011 ). The potential advantages of the instructional uses of virtual laboratories have led researchers to try to explore their effectiveness for supporting...

..., published in 2001, stated learning outcome: The revised 2011 science curriculum stressed even more the importance of inquiry in science education. To determine whether the characteristics of scientific inquiry activities of textbooks in China satisfy the requirements of China's new curriculum reforms...

... influence on the development of these skills. In this manner, students will be able to nurture the cognitive and analytical skills that are normally associated with rigorous scientific investigation. Over the past 50 years or so, evidence from PER has encouraged the development of inquiry-based physics...

... of scientific knowledge can be traced back to philosophers in the 19th century, such as John Stuart Mill, Charles Sanders Peirce, and Karl Popper ( Helen, 2019 ). There are two major camps: one acknowledges the influence of social settings on the scientific inquiry process, while the other regards sociality...

... and the author's reflections and field notes—to diagnose students’ learning. The author concluded that the MBLs contributed to the children's science learning, especially in the form of increased facility with scientific inquiry. Specifically, MBLs gave children access to data in the form of graphs so...

... at the earliest in middle school ( Meltzer and Otero, 2015 ). Yet, activities based on physics concepts are the most efficient for young students to acquire scientific skills, inquiries, and experiments. Why is this so? In almost every area of classical physics, one can find or design simple hands-on experiments...
