Abstract:

 


This study examined the
inquiry-based science practices of a teacher and the 20 students in his class. The
purpose of this case study is to identify how this teacher adapts scientific
inquiry into his practices and to understand what kind of training needs he
has. The data set out here were collected with the videos during a class visit
and interviews with the teacher. Four classroom observation were planned for a
teacher with his own IBSE activities and pre-determined activities. The interviews
and video recordings were analyzed and interpreted qualitatively by using a
diagnostic observation protocol. The results showed that the teacher apply the
activities with one or two indicators of inquiry learned from in-service
trainings, beyond applying them as a scientific process in a holistic manner.
The analysis of the interviews showed that the teachers understanding of
inquiry could be shaped as partially, inadequate or sometimes with
misunderstandings via intensive trainings. This case shows us a ground to
approach in-service trainings in a different way.
