Aregehagn, Ehtegebreal; Lykknes, Annette; Febri, Maria I. M.; Ayene, Mengesha – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
The use of guided inquiry-based learning (GIBL) in a manner designed to challenge individual students' unscientific conceptions of science, has been researched widely. However, few (if any) studies have investigated the implementation of GIBL in a manner designed to challenge the fundamental patterns of students' context-dependent unscientific…
