Reconsidering the Character and Role of Inquiry in School Science: Analysis of a Conference

Abstract: We summarize a conference on scientific inquiry bringing together science educators, cognitive scientists and philosophers of science with three goals: 1. to establish how much consensus exists about scientific inquiry, 2. to discuss implications of that consensus for teaching science, 3. to identify areas where consensus is lacking to establish where further research and discussion would be most valuable.

“…The first is to give them the experience of being scientists (Hodson, 1998). By engaging in scientific practices within and outside the classroom, young people can come to understand the nature of shared scientific investigation and the value of building their investigations on the findings of others (T. Bell, Urhahne, Schanze, & Ploetzner, 2010;Grandy & Duschl, 2007). With the Web providing easy access to conspiracy theories and pseudoscientific articles, there is more need than ever to enable young people to understand the practices of scientists, the need for scientific rigor, and valid interpretation of results .…”

“…En la enseñanza de las ciencias es importante que los alumnos aprendan los conceptos clave de la disciplina, pero también los procesos por los que son generados y justificados (Grandy y Duschl, 2007). Desde esta perspectiva, la modelización cobra especial relevancia al contribuir tanto al aprendizaje de ciencias, como al aprendizaje sobre ciencias y sobre cómo hacer ciencias (Justi, 2006).…”

“…Por ejemplo, en la formación universitaria del profesorado de ciencias sería interesante plantear a nuestros estudiantes distintos ejemplos de actividades que pudieran realizar con sus alumnos, y que tuvieran que identificar cuáles serían adecuadas, considerando las características de la indagación escolar anteriormente descritas (Grandy y Duschl, 2007). Además, reflexionar acerca de las mejoras que se deben introducir, profundizando en su adecuado diseño.…”
Section: Conclusiones E Implicacionesunclassified
“…Inquiry, understood as the activity in which students develop knowledge and understanding about the scientific ideas and about how scientists study the natural world, is considered one of the central tenets in Science Education (NRC, 2000). This implies a shift from the stress on the acquisition of canonical concepts to the importance of knowing how science is generated and validated, and the processes involved in it (Grandy and Duschl, 2007).…”
