Inquiry Based Learning and Responsible Research and Innovation: Examples of Interdisciplinary Approaches at Different Schooling Levels
2021
The Inquiry-Based approach to Science Education (IBSE) is presented in scienti#c literature (Hake, 1998; Sharma et al., 2010) and in research projects reports (e.g. ESTABLISH, 2010; SAILS, 2014) as a credible solution to the reported lack of ef#cacy of more ‘traditional’ educative approaches, especially when focused on Research and Innovation (RRI) (Sutcliffe, 2006; IRRESISTIBLE, 2013; Ark of Inquiry, 2013). IBSE is an inductive approach to science teaching that considers direct experience at the center of learning. IBSE activities and strategies actively involve students in the identi#cation of relevant evidence, in critical and logical reasoning on the evidence collected and in re+ection …
Mitä opin? Monilukutaitoa ja tutkivaa oppimista monialaisessa oppimiskokonaisuudessa
2019
Tarkastelemme tässä artikkelissa, mitä oppilaat, opettajat ja opettajaopiskelijat raportoivat oppineensa yhdessä toteuttamassaan monialaisessa oppimiskokonaisuudessa, johon osallistuivat erään yhtenäiskoulun kaikki 5.–8. luokan oppilaat. Oppimiskokonaisuuden aihe oli terve elämä ja sitä opiskeltiin viikon ajan ikäsekoitteisissa ryhmissä tutkivan oppimisen keinoin ja monilukutaitoa harjaannuttaen. Tutkimusaineisto koostuu 250 oppilaan, 25 opettajan ja 23 opettajaopiskelijan laadullisista itsearvioinneista, ja se analysoitiin laadullisen aineistolähtöisen teoriaohjaavan sisällönanalyysin keinoin. Tulosten mukaan oppilaat kertoivat oppineensa vuorovaikutustaitoja ja monimuotoisten tekstien tuo…
Pre-service teachers and guided inquiry-based science teaching with simulations
2017
The aim of this dissertation was explore the beliefs and practices of pre-service primary teachers on using simulations as a part of guided inquiry-based lessons. Even though research has shown that using simulations to learn science offers certain learning benefits compared to other forms of instruction, their use in Finnish schools is still rare compared to the international average. Teacher training has the potential to promote the use of simulations in primary classrooms. Internationally, research has been called for the role of teachers in learning and teaching with simulations. As a part of this dissertation, an intervention was designed to accustom a group of pre-service teachers to …
Tutkiva oppiminen evoluution opetuksessa lukiossa
2017
Uusi opetussuunnitelma velvoittaa opettajia kokeellisuuden ja tutkimuksellisuuden hyödyntämiseen opetuksessa, ja eräs keino tähän on tutkiva oppiminen. Tutkivassa oppimisessa tietoa ei omaksuta suoraan oppikirjasta tai opettajalta, vaan sitä hankitaan tieteelle tuttujen toimintamallien, kuten kysymysten, hypoteesien, selitysten ja kokeiden avulla. Tutkivan oppimisen vaiheet muodostavat yhdessä tutkivan oppimisen polun, jossa tieto tarkentuu vaihe vaiheelta. Opiskelijoita voidaan haastaa tutkivassa oppimisessa eri tavalla riippuen ovatko tutkimuskysymykset, menetelmät tai ratkaisut annettu heille etukäteen. Tutkivaa oppimista voidaan hyödyntää erilaisten aihepiirien opetuksessa kaikenikäiste…
The connection between forms of guidance for inquiry-based learning and the communicative approaches applied : a case study in the context of pre-ser…
2019
Recent research has argued that inquiry-based science learning should be guided by providing the learners with support. The research on guidance for inquiry-based learning has concentrated on how providing guidance affects learning through inquiry. How guidance for inquiry-based learning could promote learning about inquiry (e.g. epistemic practices) is in need of exploration. A dialogic approach to classroom communication and pedagogical link-making offers possibilities for learners to acquire these practices. The focus of this paper is to analyse the role of different forms of guidance for inquiry-based learning on building the communicative approach applied in classrooms. The data for th…
Oppiennätyksistä opetussuunnitelman perusteisiin : lukion kemian kansallisen opetussuunnitelman kehittyminen Suomessa vuosina 1918-2016
2017
Kemiasta tuli itsenäinen oppiaine vuonna 1918. Lukion lukusuunnitelmaan kemia tuli vasta vuodesta 1941. Aina 1980-luvun puoleen väliin saakka opetussuunnitelmat olivat valtakunnanhallinnon antamia. Vuodesta 1985 lähtien Koulu- ja Opetushallitus ovat antaneet valtakunnalliset perusteet koulutuksen järjestäjien laatimien ja vahvistamien opetussuunnitelmien pohjaksi. Tutkimuksen päätavoitteena on kuvata lukion kemian kansallisen opetussuunnitelman kehittymistä Suomen itsenäisyyden alusta tähän päivään saakka. Tutkimuksen teoriaosassa käsitellään eri maissa tapahtunutta kemian opetuksen ja opetussuunnitelman kehittymistä varsin perusteellisesti 1800-luvulta nykypäivään. Siinä tarkastellaan eri …
Individual Creativity and Career Choices of Pre-teens in the Context of a Math-Art Learning Event
2021
A sample of 392 students (aged 12-13 years, M± SD: 12. 52% girls) completed a learning module integrating informal hands-on mathematics and arts activity (extending STEM to STEAM). Within a 140 minute workshop period participants worked with commercially available ‘4Dframe’ Math and STEAM learning toolkits to design and create original, personal and individual geometrical structures. Two science pedagogues acted as tutors supervising the process and intervened only when needed. A pre-/post-test design monitored individual creativity, relative autonomy, and career choice preference. Path analysis elaborated the role of creativity (measured with two subscales: act and flow), and it showed tha…
Comparing Guidance via Implicit and Explicit Model Progressions in a Collaborative Inquiry-Based Learning Environment with Different-Aged Learners
2022
There is a need for research on the effect of different types of model progressions and learner age on learning and engagement in inquiry-based science settings. This study builds on the Scientific Discovery as Dual Search model to introduce less specific implicit model progression and compares them to the traditional explicit model progression. The data come from Finnish 8-, 10-, and 12-year-olds collaboratively using two different configurations of an inquiry-based learning environment about balance. Balance scale tasks were used to assess learning. Students also rated their situation-specific engagement. Both types of model progressions were beneficial for learning but there was no diffe…
Visualising the temporal aspects of collaborative inquiry-based learning processes in technology-enhanced physics learning
2018
This study presents new ways of visualising technology-enhanced collaborative inquiry-based learning (CIBL) processes in an undergraduate physics course. The data included screen-capture videos from a technology-enhanced learning environment and audio recordings of discussions between students. We performed a thematic analysis based on the phases of inquiry-based learning (IBL). The thematic analysis was complemented by a content analysis, in which we analysed whether the utilisation of technological tools was on a deep-level, surface-level, or nonexistent basis. Student participation was measured in terms of frequency of contributions as well as in terms of impact. We visualised the sequen…
