Possibilities and benefits of inquiry and project-based education inclusion into teaching: research and practice
Abstract
Methods and organizational forms that place students at the heart of the educational process are a globally accepted trend in modern education. Within the framework of natural sciences in connection with experimental activities, research-oriented teaching thus comes to the fore.
Research into the effectiveness of this teaching concept shows significantly better results compared to traditional teaching. Project-based education, i.e. a method typically built around a research task for its complexity, is not so easily measurable.
However, partial research also shows its greater effectiveness compared to traditional teaching. A fundamental feature of both methods is a good management question, which in turn directs students' work.
The possibility of implementation also depends on the topic - some topics have higher potential than others. The post will list selected topics along with links to projects or research activities.
The specific demonstration will also show the possibility of gradually adding support (scaffolding) so that students have maximum freedom in their research.
