- Abstract
The article discusses the inquiry-based teaching in science in the U.S. In teaching science, the emphasis is on the inquiry-based teachings with the expectation that students in the science classroom will be exposed to the theories and practices of scientists in the science community. In contrast, teachers and students in inquiry-based environments share responsibility for learning and decision making. This process is collaborative and students have a voice, sharing ideas and questions, and problem solving. As a result of concentrated, collegial discussion by the group, the district became resolute in implementing inquiry-based modules at all grade levels.
