Developing Inquiry-based Instruction Skills

在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，东北州立大学开发了一门面向探究的科学内容课程，用于教师培训计划。 本研究的目的是通过调查课程改革前后毕业的教师对探究策略的使用情况来评估课程的效果。本研究的目的是研究科学课程改革后引入探究策略的效果，以及学校环境对教学实践的影响。 其目的是记录有效使用探究式教学的专家教师的知识和技能。 本研究将比较在职教师在接受科学内容改革课程与未接受科学内容改革课程的教学成效。 这两个小组将与选定的专家教师进行比较。

With prior NSF support, an inquiry-oriented science content course was developed for use in a teacher-training program at Northeastern State University. The current proposal seeks to assess the effectiveness of this course by examining the use of inquiry strategies by teachers who graduated before and after the couse was redesigned.This project aims to study the effectiveness of science courses reformed to include inquiry strategies, and the impact of school context on teaching practice. The purpose is to document the knowledge and skills of Expert Teachers who effectively use inquiry-based instruction. This research will compare the effectiveness of in-service teachers who have taken the reformed science content course to teachers who took the non-reformed course in earlier years. Both groups will be compared to selected expert teachers.
