The impact of inquiry-based science instruction: A synthesis

August 1, 2011
This paper synthesizes almost two decades of studies of inquiry-based science instruction. Findings show that students’ learning gains increase when teachers emphasize a student-centred approach. The results of this study can guide ISE educators’ incorporation of inquiry-based instruction into programs for students and teachers.
