研究了基于网络的学习环境ldquoYoung Scientistrdquo(http://bio.edu.ee/noor)在培养六年级学生(10-12岁)探究技能中的应用。主要目标是评估学生探究技能的发展以及这些技能的发展如何取决于他们的预备技能。爱沙尼亚各地的302名学生解决了以下主题的三个问题：“植物的生产”、“植物的施肥”和“植物危害昆虫的生物防治”。根据前后测试的结果，他们提出问题、研究问题和假设、计划和进行调查、分析数据以及做出推理的技能在统计上显着发展。斯皮尔曼相关性表明，最初探究技能水平较低的学生发展最高。唯一的例外是在制定研究问题的情况下，因为更高级的预备技能会带来更高的发展。
The application of Web-based learning environment ldquoYoung Scientistrdquo (http://bio.edu.ee/noor) in developing the 6th grade studentspsila inquiry skills (aged 10-12) was studied. The main objectives have been to evaluate the development of studentspsila inquiry skills and how the development of these skills depends on their pre-skills. 302 students all over Estonia solved three problems in the following topics: ldquoThe Production of Plantsrdquo, ldquoThe Fertilization of Plantsrdquo, and ldquoThe Biological Control of Plant-hazardous Insectsrdquo. According to the results of the pre- and post-test their skills of formulating problems, research questions, and hypotheses, planning and conducting investigations, analyzing data, and skills of making inferences developed statistically significantly. Spearman correlation demonstrated that the highest development occurred among the students with initial low level of inquiry skills. The only exception was found in the case of formulating research questions since more advanced pre-skills led to higher development.
