“…It was emphasized that the teacher plays a guiding role and moves forward by giving students directions and clues. It was determined that students reach knowledge by themselves in this process (Russo & Persano Adorno, 2018). Deductive teaching and learning have been used in literature as an umbrella term that includes several constructivist teaching methods (Prince & Felder, 2006).…”

In this research, the teaching of mechanical waves was realized with inquiry-based learning; the aim was to determine the changes in students’ conceptual understanding of spring, water, and sound waves. It was designed as action research. The study group comprised 58 upper-secondary school students enrolled in 10th grade at an Anatolian upper-secondary school in Turkey. Data collection tools used in the research were the form for conceptual understanding of mechanical waves, semi-structured interviews, video recordings and photographs, student journals, and hand-made materials. Moreover, researchers designed an action plan that was composed of activities on spring, water, and sound waves. Descriptive and conceptual content analyses were utilized in data analysis. At the end of the research, it was determined that there was a change in students’ conceptual understanding of spring, water, and sound waves. Moreover, it was determined that teaching based on inquiry-based learning contributed positively to students’ learning. In this respect, it is thought that such applications should become widespread. There should be online training for lecturers which in return would contribute to students’ learning.

“…Finally, research-based learning could be combined with other participatory methodologies better known by students who study physics, such as cooperative learning, whose effectiveness has been widely proven in contexts other than the object of study [31], but which future can be investigated in that context.…”

The teaching of physics should be supported by practical or laboratory activities that seek to develop the scientific competencies of the students who study physics, so it is necessary to propose innovative strategies, such as research-based learning, in which students answer research questions through the analysis of data, which increases the interaction between the student and the physical concepts under investigation. Therefore, the objective of the study was to analyze the beliefs of teachers in natural science training at a public university in Colombia who take the subject of physics on research-based learning, to provide information on how to guide the use of innovative strategies. The study responds to a type of quantitative research with a descriptive approach and was based on a field design. On the other hand, the results reflect slightly positive beliefs of students in initial teacher training who study physics about research-based learning as an innovative strategy, although it is recommended to expand the sample to generalize. Finally, the analysis reveals as a conclusion that the implementation of innovative methodologies such as inquiry-based learning for science teaching, especially physics, should be promoted and supported more effectively to foster motivation, skills development, and conceptual understanding. of the scientific contents.

“…Student's scientist-like activities in each group were supported by two teachers having many years of expertise in the field of scientific research and on teaching physics at both high-school and university level courses. The preparation to the learning path was done through a traditional lecturing approach by using university general physics textbooks covering the introduction Giancoli -2008) and all the didactical aspects of the experiments (i) with the LED and (ii) the photoelectric effect [16][17][18]20]. The progression was found from the original research published on the illustration of quantum mechanics concepts [21] Other research-based methods to inquire on wave particle duality [22] have been considered as well.…”

“…All these learning cycles focus on the active construction of meaningful knowledge and the stimulation of high levels of critical thinking skills. Experimental evidence shows that traditionally instructed first-year undergraduates in Engineering continue to experience difficulties on dualism wave-particles and, in general, in Modern Physics topics [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. The origin of these difficulties may be related to epistemology -their view of scientific knowledge -or to concepts -residual conceptual lacks -or both [18].…”

We here present and discuss a 5E-based learning activity focused on introductory concepts of Quantum Physics experienced at the Bachelor of Electrical Engineering of a Kenyan University. The described constructivist environment aimed at supporting an effective understanding of concepts very relevant in Modern Physics, such as wave-particle dualism, discretization, de Broglie wavelength, Heisenberg Uncertainty principle, atomic models, particle in a box, etc., by triggering a chain of reasoned investigation, inquiry, problem solving, and collaboration with peers. As it is well known, the 5E-based learning cycle is a student-centred instructional approach which helps learners to broaden their views on the concepts and link together the ideas, by means of five phases of instruction: Engagement, Exploration, Explanation, Elaboration, and Evaluation. Our findings show the proposed workflows successfully engaged students into active learning, stimulating the activation of the inquiry process and, at the same time, supporting the clarifying of important experimental and technological aspects of modern physics. This learning path represents a feasible example of a combination of a traditional lecture-based teaching method with laboratory and computational activities.
