Education Science Education Secondary Education science inquiry high school laboratories southeastern ohio inquiry-based instruction quality science experiences The purpose of this study was to examine and describe the status of Inquiry-based science instruction in Southeastern Ohio public high schools. The project specifically targeted teachers' beliefs and perceptions concerning inquiry and Inquiry-based science teaching, the extent to which they relied on inquiry strategies in the classroom and the various factors that could act as barriers in their use of inquiry. The Science Instruction and Facilities Survey (SIFS) was developed for the project and served as the main research tool. Results suggest that many teachers are familiarized with instances of inquiry in their teaching but lack the know-how to view it as a process of science geared towards scientific literacy and analytical skills. Findings also suggest that although teachers may believe inquiry should be utilized on a frequent basis in the classroom, their practice may not reflect this belief. Time, class size and available materials emerged as important factors that influence teachers' use of inquiry. 2010-07-30 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1275925913 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1275925913 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
