“…The importance of inquiry-based education, whether or not that specific label is used, has been reflected internationally in contemporary general curricular reforms (e.g., European Commission [EC], Directorate-General for Research, Directorate L-Science, Economy and Society, 2007; National Council for the Social Studies [NCSS], 1994; National Council of Teachers of Mathematics [NCTM], 2000; National Governors Association Center for Best Practices, Council of Chief State School Officers, 2010; National Research Council [NRC], 1996, 2000, 2012; Québec, Ministère de l’Éducation, 1999, 2001, 2004; UNESCO, 2008). Chichekian, Savard, and Shore (2011) summarized the historical growth of international commitment to inquiry-based instruction, from Dewey (1933) to Bruner (1960) and through the influence of several Nobel Laureates in physics, perhaps a partial explanation for the central and likely disproportionate role of science educators and scientists in promoting inquiry in education.…”
