The goal of this text is to help you navigate the complex landscape
that is inquiry in the science classroom. We focus on inquiry
teaching, its various forms and what factors influence its
integration into a classroom. We invite you to develop and refine
your definitions about scientific inquiry and explore how inquiry
might be used to support the success of your students. The
introduction will include various definitions of inquiry offered in
the research literature accompanied by what we see as useful ways
to conceptualize the broad practices that comprise inquiry in the
classroom. Following the introduction the six sections of the book
each explore factors that influence the use of inquiry in the
classroom. Each section begins with one (or more)
vignette--snippets of science classrooms. The authors discuss how
this vignette demonstrates some aspect of the specific dimension
that they are charged with discussing. Because inquiry is so
multifaceted and its portrayals are often complex and nuanced, the
discussion of the dimension is broken into separate essays-- each
of which addresses the focal dimension in different ways.Following
the essay, a broader discussion across the essays is offered to
support your understanding of inquiry.
