Inquiry Projects in Science Teacher Education: What Can Investigative Experiences Reveal about Teacher Thinking and Eventual Classroom Practice?
Windschitl, Mark
Science Education, v87 n1 p112-43 Jan 2003
Examines how preservice teachers' inquiry experiences in a science methods course were influenced by their conceptions of inquiry. Advocates that independent science investigations should part of preservice education and that these experiences should be scaffolded to prompt reflection, specifically about the nature of inquiry, and conceptually linked to ways in which inquiry can be brought into the K-12 classroom. (Contains 64 references.) (Author/YDS)
