| Tóm tắt: | Calls for reform in university education have prompted a movement from teacher- to student-centered course
design, and included developments such as peer-teaching, problem and inquiry-based learning. In the
sciences, inquiry-based learning has been widely promoted to increase literacy and skill development, but
there has been little comparison to more traditional curricula. In this study, we demonstrated greater
improvements in students’ science literacy and research skills using inquiry lab instruction. We also found that
inquiry students gained self-confidence in scientific abilities, but traditional students’ gain was greater –likely
indicating that the traditional curriculum promoted over-confidence. Inquiry lab students valued more
authentic science exposure but acknowledged that experiencing the complexity and frustrations faced by
practicing scientists was challenging, and may explain the widespread reported student resistance to inquiry
curricula. |
