Incorporating Guided-Inquiry Learning into the Organic Chemistry Laboratory
Gaddis, Barbara A.; Schoffstall, Allen M.
Journal of Chemical Education, v84 n5 p848 May 2007
Guided-inquiry experiments also known as discovery-based experiments, which combine the pedagogical advantages of open-inquiry methods with the practical advantages of expository experiments, are described. Unlike open-inquiry or problem-based experiments, guided-inquiry experiments could be readily adapted to large laboratory sections and induces students to think more deeply by adding mystery for students.
