    • Inquiry based teaching methods suggested as a way to encourage

    and motivate students in science by increasing student interest.

    (Fensham 1986, Linn 2006).

    • International reports (Rocard 2007, Osborne and Dillon 2008)

    identified the need for an “engaging curricula to tackle the issue of

    out-of date and irrelevant contexts and to enable teachers to

    develop their knowledge and pedagogical skills”.

    SCIENCE INQUIRY

    Inquiry learning of science aims to answer

    student‟s questions in an evidence-based manner

    using clear and rigorous methodology.

    Inquiry-based teaching is an organised and

    intentional effort by the teacher to engage students

    in inquiry based learning.

    OBJECTIVES OF ESTABLISH:

    TEACHERS

    STUDENTS

    • Develop appropriate teaching and learning

    materials for IBSE.

    • Provide appropriate support for teachers in

    implementing an inquiry methodology.

    • Create sustainable connections -

    policy makers, scientific and industrial

    communities.

    10

    Inquiry is the intentional process of

    diagnosing problems, critiquing experiments, and distinguishing alternatives,

    planning investigations, researching conjectures, searching for information,

    constructing models, debating with peers and forming coherent arguments.

    (Linn, Davis & Bell 2004)

    Identification of each country is: CY- Cyprus, CZ-Czech Republic, DE-Germany, EE-Estonia, IE- Ireland, IT- Italy, MT- Malta,

    NL-Netherlands, PL- Poland, SK-Slovakia and SE-Sweden.

    Elements of Inquiry CY CZ DE EE IE IT MT NL PL SK SE

    Diagnosing problems

    Critiquing experiments

    Distinguishing alternatives

    Planning investigations

    Researching conjectures

    Searching for information

    Constructing models

    Agreed framework for the development of an IBSE unit:

    (1) Unit/science topic,

    (2) IBSE character,

    (3) Pedagogical Content Knowledge,

    (4) Industrial Content Knowledge,

    (5) Learning Path(s) and

    (6) Student Learning Activities and Classroom Materials.

    18 Units, 281 activities that:

    are representative of IBSE,

    show benefits of IBSE in classroom,

    inspire teachers to generate own materials.

    ESTABLISH IBSE TEACHING AND LEARNING UNITS

    WP leader: Dr. Ton Ellermeijer, CMA 13

    E.g. ICK in Light unit

    Activity Industrial Content Knowledge

    1.1 Sources of light Solids and gases are used in LCD and plasma screens to produce white/coloured

    light

    1.2 How does light travel? Altering the direction of light so each eye sees a different image is the basis of 3D

    lenticular displays such as those used in the Nintendo 3DS

    1.4 Exploring white light

    and filters

    LCD TVs use white light sources and filters to produce red, green, and blue

    pixels

    1.5 Exploring primary

    colours

    RGB pixels are used in virtually all display technology to produce coloured

    images. Conversely, RGB sensors are used in cameras to record colour images.

    1.7 Exploring refraction

    2.2 Investigating Snell’s

    law

    The refractive index of screens must be relatively constant across visible

    wavelengths or distortion of the image/colours would occur depending on viewing

    angle

    1.8 Exploring lenses

    2.4 Investigating lenses

    Lenticular lenses are used in 3D displays that do not require glasses, and are

    obviously a key part of camera systems

    2.5 Optical Storage Interference patterns form the basis of holography, and holographic 3D TVs are

    expected to move from development to production stage in the next few years.

    2.6 How do sunglasses

    work?

    Polarization of light and acceptance/rejection by polarization filters is the method

    by which current-generation 3D movies (eg. Avatar, Tintin, etc) display different

    images to each eye

    ESTABLISH - TEACHER EDUCATION

    o ESTABLISH units central in TEP.

    o Time f2f - 10 hours (minimum)

    o TEP is delivered over (a minimum of) three stages;

    • Introduction; workshop,

    • Internalisation of information; teachers trial materials and methodologies in classroom/ invest own time in reflect on the materials,

    • Follow-up; workshop to capture feedback

    o Activities are trialled in the classroom.

    o Recommendations:

    • minimum of two teachers per school attend the workshops.

    • workshops are hosted in the schools.

    • workshop take place in a relevant industrial setting.

    I: ESTABLISH VIEW OF INQUIRY

    characteristics of inquiry, benefits to learning, role of inquiry in curriculum, provide direct experience of inquiry.

    Inquiry is the intentional process of :

    diagnosing problems, critiquing experiments, and distinguishing alternatives,

    planning investigations, researching conjectures, searching for information,

    constructing models, debating with peers and forming coherent arguments. (Linn, Davis & Bell, 2004)

    Types of Inquiry • Interactive demonstration • Guided discovery • Guided inquiry • Bounded Inquiry • Open Inquiry

    Student independence (Wenning, 2005) 1

    II: INDUSTRIAL CONTENT KNOWLEDGE (ICK)

    define ICK, relevance of ICK to support IBSE, experience contexts with links to units/activities, develop own ICK content

    Level Description

    I The activity is linked to industry or everyday context.

    II An industry or a product is studied, preferable by a site visit. The challenges in

    that industry are used to introduce science activities.

    III Analysing an industry’s main product or process based on a site visit and study of

    both the science content and the design process.

    IV An activity where the students need to follow all steps in a design process. During

    the process they will learn science and do experiments.

    V Contacts with industry lead to a design task with a customer.

    19

    III: TEACHER AS AN IMPLEMENTER

    • Teachers‟ reflect on practice of inquiry within the classroom.

    • Map the attitudes towards and understanding of IBSE and

    “brainstorm” on what inquiry-based science education means and

    what one wishes to achieve by employing it.

    Sample Activity:

    • Teachers divided into small groups (~ three per group).

    • The groups are given cards that shows a model that describes IBSE.

    • Groups brainstorm on three themes:

    1) what inquiry-based teaching is,

    2) which skills/competence one seeks to develop

    3) which special teaching skills are needed in the teacher to lead this work?

    prepare for implementing inquiry teaching/learning in their own classroom, identifying challenges and sharing experiences.

    20

    21

    IV: TEACHER AS A DEVELOPER

    empower teachers to develop own inquiry lessons.

    • criteria for inquiry activities.

    • turning activities into inquiry.

    • appropriate resources online/printed media - sourcing topics, scientific

    background, ICK, etc.

    • supporting teachers manage and evaluating resources.

    • facilitating reflection and feedback on self-developed inquiry lessons.

    • discussing classroom issues/challenges

    • developing community of practice – sharing experiences

    • scaffolding activities/lessons - layered design that includes start,

    examples, links, chat.

    DATA ANALYSIS

    Teachers self-rated as:

    Complete beginner (B)

    To have some experience (SE)

    Very experienced (VE)

    Data coded and subjected to Multidimensional analysis (MDS) which examines similarity/dissimilarity between data. MDS was used to compare the dissimilarity between the different country groups by using the country average response for each question as the input for MDS. The distribution of the responses based on each teacher cohort was then mapped relative to an ‘ideal’ response. 2

    ATTITUDE TO INQUIRY

    33

    BEGINNERS EXPERIENCE PROFILE

    • View science as static body of knowledge and more unsure of

    the nature of science;

    • Adopt more factual approach to teaching science;

    • Classroom management with different activities a potential issue;

    • Lack scientific knowledge to relate classroom science to outside

    phenomena and to teach by inquiry

    • More unsure of themselves in terms of their scientific knowledge

    base, their degree of comfort dealing with unknown within

    classroom

    • Are not as happy with their current teaching method, are willing to

    try other teaching methods but are more apprehensive about

    changing teaching methods.

    34

    CONCLUSION: BEFORE TEP, N=548

    Practices associated with inquiry more difficult for BE teachers:

    •more likely to „tell the students the right answer/result‟ in an investigation.

    •more uncertain of how to ask „higher order questions that promotes thinking‟.

    •managing a classroom where each student group is doing different activities is difficult .

    •many feel uncomfortable with teaching areas of science that they have limited knowledge of and of asking questions that they do not know the answer to.

    •feelings of inadequacy if they do not know answers to student questions.

    35

    CONCLUSION: AFTER TEP, N=233

    • increase in teachers understanding of inquiry and

    the role of the teacher and student in the inquiry

    classroom.

    • more positive attitudes to inquiry.

    • increased confidence in asking higher order

    questions that promote thinking and also their own

    science knowledge.

    • biggest changes in „Beginners‟ cohort.

    IMPACT ON STUDENTS:

    Students (12-18 years)

    N=5,602

    o increased student‟s motivation and communication during

    science lessons;

    ogreater student attitude towards science and taking up

    careers in science or technology;

    o increased interaction between those teaching and learning

    about science and those using science.

    THE MAIN PURPOSES OF ASSESSMENT

    Summative assessment: Assessment of current individual level of knowledge and competence (in order to monitor educational progress and to compare student learning to the standards of performance or to their peers).

    Formative assessment: Assessment to assist learning (trough providing teachers and students with feedback – for the teachers to revise their teaching and for students to monitor their own learning)

    Accountability assessment (evaluation): Assessment to evaluate educational programs (national performance, school performance, etc.) (in order to drive changes in practice and policy)

    The terms describe the purposes for which the assessment is done, not the task itself – all assessment tasks can be used summatively as well as formatively!

    [Jens Dolin, ASSIST-ME Project] 41

    AN ASSESSMENT RESEARCH PROJECT

    Students divided into 4 groups:

    A: got marks for their assignments

    B: got written comments (and no marks) to their assignments

    C: got both marks and comments

    D: got no feedback (control group)

    A: Same improvement as the control group

    B: 30% better than the control group

    C: Same improvement as the control group [Judith Butler 1988]

    Point: Summative assessment does not enhance learning!

    Time spent on summative assessment and evaluation is taken from

    time spent on learning. [Jens Dolin, ASSIST-ME Project] 4

    Coordination: Odilla Finlayson, Eilish McLoughlin, Paul van Kampen, Deirdre McCabe, Dublin City University, Ireland.

    “SAILS aims to prepare teachers not only

    to be able to teach through IBSE, but also

    to be confident and competent in the

    assessment of their students’ learning

    through inquiry.”

    CASE STUDIES (TEACHER STORIES)

    provide a narrative on how teachers:

    • have implemented or adapted the learning

    sequence (differentiation/age level),

    • what skills did they assess and how,

    • what evidence did they collect on student

    learning

    • and how they judged this assessment data

    Developing a hypothesis

    Helpful questions:

    What do you expect

    to happen?

    Why does the

    occurance happen?

    Can you explain you

    hypothesis from what

    you have learnt?

    The student

    formulates

    presupposition, but

    is unable to

    explain the

    hypothesis

    The student

    formulates the

    presupposition

    and is able to

    explain the

    hypothesis with

    the helpful

    question

    The student

    explains the

    hypothesis and

    supports it with

    scientific facts

    Planning the investigation

    Helpful questions:

    How can the

    experiment be

    implemented?

    Which physical variable

    should be studied?

    How can connection be

    found between

    variables?

    What can you do in

    order to accurately fix

    the measurements?

    More exact questions in

    teacher support.

    The student

    gives

    recomendations

    on how the

    experiment

    should be carried

    out, but is unable

    to proceed and

    does not

    understand the

    process.

    CASE STUDY ON WOOD LICE:

    SKILL: FORMULATING HYPOTHESIS, LEVEL 1

    The student formulated a prediction about what would happen

    within their light intensity experiment. However, when they

    attempted to explain why they thought this would happen, their

    answer showed no relevant connection to their prediction.

    61

    The student made their prediction about what would happen

    during the experiment, and explained why they believed this

    would happen based on their experiences with woodlice. 62

    CASE STUDY ON WOOD LICE:

    SKILL: FORMULATING HYPOTHESIS, LEVEL 2

    This student made a

    detailed prediction and

    explained why they

    believed this would

    happen using their

    scientific content

    knowledge (indicating

    differences in different

    types of wood, and that

    woodlice are

    decomposers.

    Framework & Strategies

    65

    1. Learning about teaching involves continuously conflicting and competing demands.

    2. Learning about teaching requires a view of knowledge as a subject to be created rather than as a created subject.

    3. Learning about teaching requires a shift in focus from the curriculum to the learner.

    4. Learning about teaching is enhanced through (student) teacher research.

    5. Learning about teaching requires an emphasis on those learning to teach working closely with their peers.

    6. Learning about teaching requires meaningful relationships between schools, universities and student teachers.

    7. Learning about teaching is enhanced when the teaching and learning approaches advocated in the program are modelled by the teacher educators in their own practice.

    PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOCUSSED ON

    STUDENT’S LEARNING

    • Collaboration as a powerful strategy

    • Continuous reflective and transformative

    activity at school level

    • Researching teachers’ own practice

    • Practice-oriented

    Ponte, J. P. (2012). A practice-oriented professional development programme to support the introduction of a new

    mathematics curriculum in Portugal. Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 15(4), 317-327. 67

    • Appropriate Inquiry materials.

    • Teacher Education Continuum (ITE-CPD).

    • Sharing Practices – Integrating research (Case

    Studies).

    • Providing immediate feedback to learners is

    essential but skills and competencies take time

    to be developed.

    • Assessment linked to learning progression of

    both concepts and skills.
