The Biology Olympiad as a Resource and Inspiration for Inquiry-Based Science Teaching
Original language description
In this chapter, we summarize our investigation of the potential of the Biology Olympiad (BiO) to serve as a resource for inquiry-based teaching. We started with a survey of pre-service teachers’ knowledge, beliefs, and experience to identify the main problems that pre-service teachers see in inquiry-based teaching and what sources of inspiration and good practice (including BiO) they have. The next part of the chapter presents a study focused on the experience of BiO tasks and culture of those teachers who organized the competition in previous years. Using questionnaires, we collected data on their attitudes towards inquiry and on the impact that BiO has on their everyday instructional practice. To add to these findings, we also summarized the main findings from group discussions with teachers who participated in our summer schools on IBSE; we asked them what would help them to decide ‘what and when’ from BiO could be implemented in their everyday biology classes to inspire and motivate students towards inquiry.
