Abstract
Informal environments, such as science museums, are known to have potentials for developing scientific inquiry skills. Mobile devices, including smartphones and portable tablets, are increasingly applied to scaffold exploration due to their convenience and interactivity. Although the pedagogical affordability of mobile devices has been widely investigated, designing a blended mobile learning environment in science museum still need to be explored further. In this study, a blended mobile learning environment and a set of activities are designed by adapting to learners' different styles. Subsequently, a quasi-experimental research with two original classes of 66 participants was conducted to examine the differences in their scientific inquiry skills. Moreover, the learners' attitude on the blended mobile learning environment has been measured using questionnaire. Results show that a well-designed blended mobile learning environment in science museums is effective in developing students' scientific inquiry skills.
