Abstract
Development of inquiry skills is still in the main focus of science educators in Slovakia. Large effort has been recently put into the implementation of inquiry-based science education. In this research, the current level of development of selected inquiry skills has been monitored and analysed. For this purpose, a multiple-choice test of selected inquiry skills was designed. The tested skills involve formulating hypothesis, designing experiment, transforming results into tables and graphs, determining relationships between variables based on tables and graphs and identifying possible sources of errors. The test was implemented across several thousands of upper secondary school students. The inquiry skills´ test results revealed significant lack of their development. The paper describes the test design as well as it analyses and interpret the test results.
