PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR INQUIRY-BASED SCIE...

This book examines the implementation of inquiry-based approaches in science teaching and
learning. It explores the ways that those approaches could be promoted across various contexts
in Europe through initial teacher preparation  induction programmes and professional
development activities. It illustrates connections between scientific knowledge deriving from
the science education research community  teaching practices deriving from the science
teachers' community  and educational innovation. Inquiry-Based Science Teaching and Learning
(IBST L) has been promoted as a policy response to pressing educational challenges  including
disengagement from science learning and the need for citizens to be in a position to evaluate
evidence on pressing socio-scientific issues. Effective IBST L requires well-prepared and
skilful teachers  who can act as facilitators of student learning and who are able to adapt
inquiry-based activity sequences to their everyday teaching practice. Teachers also need to
engage creatively with the process of nurturing student abilities and to acquire new assessment
competences. The task of preparing teachers for IBST L is a challenging one. This book is a
resource for the implementation of inquiry-oriented approaches in science education and
illustrates ways of promoting IBST L through initial teacher preparation  induction and
professional development programmes.
