Abstract
Improved learning by implementation of inquiry-based science education (IBSE) has been well documented. Eight Norwegian secondary school teachers associated the term IBSE with problem solving, good student dialogues, experiments and practical work. They rarely implemented “full” IBSE in their teaching practices even though this is well anchored in the Norwegian national curriculum. The teachers had experienced that IBSE led to an increased interest, motivation and curiosity for science learning, and explicit scaffolding and guidance were regarded as important to obtain good learning processes. Limiting factors for implementation of IBSE were time available, organization of teaching hours, class room facilities and the number of students in the class. IBSE activities were in particular valued as important to stimulate science-based discussions in the classroom. In order to promote and increase the implementation of IBSE in secondary school science teaching, two strategies might be good to pursue: increased time resources to teach science in the Norwegian school and introduction of IBSE-focused teacher training programs.
Highlights
Utforskende arbeidsmåter i naturfagundervisning (IBSE, Inquiry-based science education) har fått mye oppmerksomhet og er sterkt anbefalt på bakgrunn av naturfagdidaktisk forskning, både i USA og Europa
inquiry-based science education (IBSE) som metode er et godt supplement i naturfagundervisning og har vist seg bedre egnet enn andre undervisningsmetoder til å fremme interesse og kunnskapsbygging hos elever (Rocard et al, 2007)
Noen opererer med en relativt detaljert femtrinns beskrivelse av arbeidsmåten som f.eks.: 1. Elevene engasjerer seg i naturfaglige problemstillinger
Summary
Utvalget av intervjupersoner var selektivt og strategisk etter følgende kriterier: Lærerne skulle ha kompetanse og undervisningserfaring med naturfagundervisning på ungdomstrinnet, og de skulle i. Tabellen viser en oversikt over lærere som ble intervjuet. Sentrale persondata som alder, undervisningserfaring, utdanning og annen erfaring er angitt.
