Abstrakt
The use of inquiry-based science education (IBSE) in practice rests on satisfying four conditions: the curricular documents must create a space for such teaching, there must be suitable materials for it, the students must be able to accept this way of teaching and the teachers must be able to teach in this way. As for the teachers, the project ESTABLISH (2010-2014) performed questionnaire surveys to determine whether our teachers have encountered the IBSE method and whether they consider it suitable for science teaching.
The results of the surveys showed that teachers are not very well informed about IBSE. For this reason, the main problem of IBSE's application in the Czech Republic can be said to be the insufficient preparation of the teachers for it.
This is why we have, as partners of the TEMI project (2013-2016), decided to organize a training system for in-service and pre-service teachers that would give the teachers new knowledge and skills, allow then to connect more with their students, and give them new resources and support necessary for effective introduction of this teaching method to their classrooms. This is why this contribution will be focused mainly on the ways how to realize this training and how to verify of IBSE activities in the school practice.
