Pre-service Biology Teachers' Competence To Use Basic Principles of Inquiry in the Design of Laboratory Tasks
Original language description
This contribution is focused on research if pre-service teachers are able to implement inquiry principles into the biology labwork. The research was held during didactic seminars focused on training of didactic methods in relation to school experiments and biological observation. Students (n = 37) were asked to redesign two "classical" laboratory tasks originally developed for the use at the regional level of the Biology Olympiad so that they would change them into an inquiry scheme and to prepare a new design with brief instructions for teaching or conducting of labwork. Although pre-service teachers are introduced to inquiry in several didactic disciplines and inquiry is employed in some scientific disciplines in the teacher preparation, only limited skills based on inquiry were found among pre-service biology teachers in the designing process of laboratory tasks. It was found that students mostly mistake inquiry-based approach for standard ("cookbook") biology lab (simple observation, labwork, performing of simple experiments etc.).
