Abstract

At this time, it's clear that the thinking about changes in science education are topical in the whole EU. This is why innovation of contents, and especially new teaching methods, are starting to draw attention.

One of them is the IBSE (Inquiry Based Science Education) method. This way of teaching, according to what was gathered so far, has proved its effectiveness in both primary and secondary education, partly by increasing the students' interest in science, partly by improving their results and arousing the teachers' motivation.

The contribution deals with the concept of the IBSE method in the ESTABLISH project, with creation of the educational materials, with their verification and with the analysis of results gained.
