Abstract
The paper deals with the European project ESTABLISH, which supports inquiry based science education (IBSE). Particularly, the article is focused on an assessment of an impact of the project on students.
The assessment is provided in the areas of: intrinsic motivation, development of students' cognitive skills, appreciation of the importance of science and technology in society, and students' inclination toward taking up careers in science. For collecting evidence two questionnaires will be used.
The first one is based on Intrinsic Motivation Survey and it is aimed at assessing students' interests, their perceived choice and usefulness of implemented learning units.
